I was thinking about this today and don't those anti-static bags you get electronics equipment in operate just like faraday cages? Might be able to put the mobo in a case and then cover the case with some of them taped together. You'll have to pipe in some fresh air for the fans though. |

FrizzleFried, do you happen to live on or near a military base? The reason I ask is that a lot of the frequencies that garage door openers use has been allocated to the military now by the FCC. |

you can send the cab to me. My house is on a slab foundation, and made of cinder blocks, and stucco over that I can not get a signal into my house let along one out. |

You have to have a case in order for a motherboard to qualify as an FCC Class B device. Those cutaway side panel with plexiglass windows or those whole plexiglass cases don't pass FCC testing, so don't bother using them. This paper has a nice description on how to handle and reduce EMI fields http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26003.pdf It points out some details even I wasn't aware of. Such as it's the length of the gap in the case not the width that causes problems and grounding heat sinks. |
