also worth noting....a few month back i had the same problem....it was down to my next door neighbour who was getting his kitchen re-done and had his microwave on the next wall for a bit......every time he switched it on my screen screwed up good style.

That thought occured to me as well, however; I dismissed it because HazelVixen said it was a constant, steady raster scan line on both monitors he tried.
However, it would be good troubleshooting practice to eliminate all probabilities, even RFI (Radio Frequency Interferance) issues.
If he/she tried plugging an FM radio into the electrical outlet used by his/her monitor, hearing static on a known clear station would indicate RFI.
If no static is heard, then I would suggest trying to replace the Video Card next. (HazelVixen, know anyone who would let you borrow their video card for an hour or so?)
