My external speakers pick up a tremendous amount of interference (radio and general static). It's not that noticeable when I have a movie or music playing, but its still there. Is this a problem with many speaker systems? Can it be fixed?

Your speakers apparently don't have shielded cables. Computers radiate a lot of electronic noise, and even though it's only radiated for a short distance, it can easily be picked up by unshielded wires. This is usually most obvious when you use external speakers that are meant for an iPod rather than a computer. More expensive, but higher quality, computer speakers should have shielded cables and thus be almost entirely immune to this problem.

Kill Bill, i was having the same problem as you. For years i would pick up crazy interference from my mobile phone and other devices. I knew my mobile was going to ring before it even knew. So I read online that i need to purchase 'protected' or 'shielded' cables for my speakers. But no posts recommended a good pair.
So, I did some research online and i decided to purchase the Bose' Computer MusicMonitor Speakers. They work perfectly. I get no static sounds at all. AND, they are kick ass speakers.
I highly recommend you purchase them. Silence is golden.

GSM phones are bad about giving off interference. Usually popping or morse-code sounds.
