I'm pretty sure ATX power doesn't have problem. I hope someone else can
think a solution for you. However, I have a word about power issue which you
may check with: at my house, if the washing machine is running, my PC
speaker will receive a short noise everytime the machine "spin", the noise
is coming from power line (you know each "spin" will increase powerload
instantly), so whenever the washing machine is running, I can't listen music
from PC. So if you are running too many devices on same line, the instant
increase of workload of power may be a problem if you are reaching the
limitation of each power line can carry (my house: max load for each power
jack is 2400VA, but who knows how many of them are shared with one thin
line).
