RFI shielding

[jetson123]

Whatever cases you make, please just make sure you shield them correctly. Unshielded computers are a major headache to your fellow geeks who operate radio and wireless equipment.

I believe there are conductive transparent plastics or films that may work for shielding transparent cases, so please do some research.

Re:RF Interference?

Plastic may be an "excellent" insulator but to shield RF you need a good conductor, and plactic is a lousy conductor. All plastic cases have some form of conductive coating on their inner surfaces, or an internal metal cage.

Re: holes in your case;

Radio waves have a physical size, if the hole is too small the wave can't get through (see: mesh satellite dish). A good case has a metal shield over any unused drive slot.
