Neon Light Kits and Computer Interference?

LightForce3 asks: "I've noticed that neon light kits are available for installation inside PC cases. Apparently, these lights are used in conjunction with window kits to create a viewable funky-looking effect inside one's computer. However, I am worried that these neon lights could be detrimental to PC performance because of the EMI and RFI (Electro-Magnetic Interference, and Radio Frequency Interference, respectively) that devices such as these often create. In other words, you could be sticking a device inside your PC case that could interfere with all the electrical signals and devices, much as how running a blender or other appliance can interfere with radio and television reception. Is this sort of situation possible? Could those of us who use these lights be degrading the performance of our computers? Or am I completely wrong?"

Yeah,
I wouldn't consider a neon light to be a great source of rf. Even more so, I believe the ones he is refering to were designed to be inside cases. (ie, run from the 12v lead). (again, the power supply would be have to be designed badly)

Producing RF doesn't necessarily mean its going to interfere with your equipment in the first place. There are many many bands... aka frequencies in the spectrum.

In any event, this is a really idiotic topic and I am of an even greater idiocracy posting. Yes, I am a moron, please moderate me up (kidding, don't waste your points )
