I'm looking to replace the computer at my listening post, and would like

to
find out if any certain brand of computer is known to have a low RF

output.
I get a lot of noise on the SW bands from my existing PC (Micron) and

leave
it off most of the time, which defeats the purpose.

What I'd like to do is replace with a low RF and acoustically quiet

model,
and then get a flat-panel LCD screen and wireless keyboard and mouse. Any
problems with RF noise from wireless devices such as those?

Comments, experiences, etc. all welcomed.


If you could afford, get a Tempest certified PC, failing that, try to
find one that meets FCC Class B standards. The A standard is pretty
noisy, and I have never seen a CRT that says it is class A, actually
meet the Class A standard (and I've spent a lot of time on an FCC
certified Test range). CRT's are the main culprit. The saw tooth
horizontal oscillator output is a fabulous interference generator.


Thanks for the tip on FCC class B standards....

I was planning on using a flat panel LCD screen for that reason, anything to
look for with LCD units?
