I run 4 Major computers with PCI cards giving additional USB capability. 
Two are in the den with one connected directly to the rig.
A similar configuration is in the shop.  The computer are about 2 feet 
apart and 4 feet from the rigs.  The USB is not yet hooked to the rigs 
in the shop at present, but it was for some time.

The computers are on a gigabit, CAT6 LAN which also has dual band 
wireless capability that links to smart phone and tablets.
   There has been no RFI from this setup 160 through 6 meters on either 
station which is setup for SO2R.  No RFI suppression has been required

There is a 5th computer, but it's quite a bit farther from the rigs 
although it is on the same network.

73 and good luck,
