I have two computers built up with Phanteks Enthro Pro ATX Full Tower case.  The case had a choice of a solid metal or glass side panel.   I chose the glass and also went with the RGB Memory and CPU Cooler with the LED lights.  I also have a Corsair mechanical keyboard with color changing backlit keys.  To date I have not experience much, if any, RFI noise from the PC. I do have other noise sources that effect me but I have yet to find one that goes away when I turn off the PC.  The PC's are powerful machines each costing about $2K.  I would recomend that you buy a quality power supply that will not be heavily loaded.

The case layout hides a lot of the cabling by allowing you to route the cables behind the panel that holds the motherboard and make for a neat build.  I set the LED in the memory, CPU Cooler, and keyboard to change color based on the CPU temperature.  Gamers can do all sorts of weird patterns that I find annoying.  With the glass panel in the case they do make a nice night light (I leave my PC on).

Good luck I hope you enjoy the new PC.

I need a new computer case, but I see that almost everything has a clear plastic side to show what's inside along with LED decorative lights. Does anyone have experience with these? Are they and RFI nightmare?
