[RFI] Computer Cases....

[Chuck Gooden]

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.
