[olug] Case Mods

[Larry.Britton at i-structure.com]

Case mods.  Ask the FCC about case mods.   You may need to file for a
transmitter license.   Check out the FCC info page on any electronic device.
I would not put unshielded speakers next to my equipment, and I definitely
wouldn't put a high frequency output device anywhere near my body for the
extensive amount of time I spend next to my equipment.  

The FCC states in Part 15, referring to Class B digital devices that if the
interference generated by such a device cannot be reduced to FCC allowable
standards, the FCC can and will withdraw the right to operate the equipment.


Why do you think the manufacturers use metal in the cases, not plastic.
even laptops have a metal frame.  

BTW say Minority Report last night, and I WANT THE SCREENS!

... and why it's an even better idea to run the computer with the cover on 
:)  Convection just don't cut it for cooling current systems.  Active 
cooling is WAY more efficent.  I found that last part out the hard way...
