What are you worried about? Ham and short wave fans have a legit
issue, and I guess people doing *very* high quality audio do also.
If you don't fit in a special catagory try taking the top of a
standard PC and hold an AM and an FM radio right next to the running
PC and listen for the noise. You won't hear much. Try it again with
the lid on.
I'm not worried about anything specific, but I know the manufacturers go
to great lengths to pass an rfi test, and yet it seems they are solving
a non-problem.
I do occasionally run PCs with the covers off, but I seldom have a radio
or TV on, so if I were causing any interference anywhere (eg in the
apartment nextdoor) I wouldn't notice it. I've heard urban legends about
early microcomputers causing interference, were they noisier or were old
TVs more sensitive to it?
