AFAIK, my current, 7 year old LCD isn't noisy (built-in chokes on the
VGA cable).  I don't anticipate replacing the display, though I'm sure
it will go and I'll switch to DVI or DP.  But not yet

Class B, I assume - thanks, I'll look for that.  But that's just it.
What constitutes serious?  Surely, many hams have empirically
discovered which are good and which aren't - where are we sharing that
info?

As for ferrite, I want to start off with a quiet system to minimize
the RFI detective work later.  That's part of the reason I'm keeping
the 10 year old or so all-metal Antec case.
