Try moving the speakers to the middle of the room, away from everything (assuming you've got enough speaker wire). Turn off your monitor and your PC. Hook up the speakers to a discman or something like that, if you can. See if you get any static.

My thoughts are that the speakers are poorly shielded and may be getting static from your monitor - the above would definitely test that theory. As for the power source causing it, it might (I'm a little fuzzy on the effects of power to audio equipment, though), do you not have any 3-prong outlets in the house (ie: too old) or just not any nearby?
