Tim..

Having dabbled around in this noisy rf environment for
about 20 years..the following things will help:

1. The Antec Sonata is a good starting point as far
as cases go.
2. Get away from the noise of the convential CRT
monitor! Check on a good Flat panel from NEC or
Samsung and many others. Study up on the FCC type
shielding they adhere to...usually Canada, Japan
Korea and others. Usually they are represented by the
series of stickers of authenication as to rf rules
they adhere to. This has improved over time.

Also, some old video cards have a lot of rf type noise.
If you have an older sound card, many of them have
digital/analogue converters that sing with noise and
Rf.

Be extremely awsare of any "switching power supplies"
these are a nightmare, generally, in a radio environment.
Stay away from these supplies..confirm that it is not
a switching supply.



All PC power supplies are of the switching type.

A laptop running on it's batteries may be the quietest out-of-the-box
system.

A "KVM" (remote "keyboard/video/mouse") box will allow you to put your
PC many feet away from your radio. Use this with an LCD screen.
