This problem is usually an issue with bus mastering on the motherboard, where the graphics device takes higher priority than the USB stream, causing the audio data to not be sent in time to the sound card. It's not due to any kind of noise from the PSU or anywhere.
I suggest playing with the apps jiiteepee suggested here. In particular, start the DPC latency checker and scroll around in firefox or MSN (or another slow graphics app that causes the glitches in the sound), and see if your latency goes above the red line.
I have the same problem with my desktop computer. You might also want to try going to your graphics properties, in the Troubleshoot tab, set the "Hardware acceleration" slider to "none".
Another option would be to change your graphics drivers to an older version or to a different version (NGO or Omega). If you're feeling more adventurous you could update your BIOS firmware, to see if that helps.
In the end these are just guesses because the problem ultimately is with poorly made hardware not playing nice with one another.
