Help w/Power Conditioning: Shunyata, Furman, RGPC?

I'm feeling totally lost with what direction to go with power conditioning in my system and am looking for some help. My system, briefly (click here for full info):

Dali MS4 Utopia Speakers
Pass INT-150 Integrated
Bel Canto DAC 3
Mac Mini
Shunyata Taipain Alpha and Cardas Golden Reference PCs
Purist speaker/ICs
Ridge USB cable

So far looking at the following units and trying to see what people think and what direction is a good way to go (looking at $1400 and under):

Shunyata 6 or 8 (specifically looking at diffs btwn these two, as wife likes 6)
Richard Gray Power Company pole pig + 600 (not much info on pole pig)
Furman Elite 15PF
Audio Magic Stealth Mini Reference
Any others??

Thanks!

Is there any way to get two dedicated lines? Either way, I recommend two power conditioners. One for your mac mini, screen and all "other" things and one for your amp and dac. You really want to separate the computer if you can.

As far as specific brands, I like BPT for value and Isoclean for top end performance.

"any reason not to have the sac and computer on the same unit? I've heard about having the amp separate from the front end, but why have the sac and amp in same line?"

That's what I found best for mine. It's an easy experiment.
