You're correct LazyPup, a GFCI would provide the means to connect to but that's about it, installing a new grounded circuit would be the best way to go with lots of electronics. To protect an ungrounded circuit from a surge there are Mode 1 surge suppressors that you can buy, these dump to the neutral instead of ground. They're more expensive but would provide for the needed protection. Or a whole house surge suppressor can be installed in the main panel.
