One note on the Gateway towers - The newer models implement conductive gaskets instead of fingers, which seem to hold up to continuous opening of the cover better. Also, gaskets don't break off.

On the other hand, PC makers should also be careful with their tower cases. I looked into many tower cases of Gateway 2000 a few years ago. They all had enough spring fingers along the seems. Best Regards, Barry Ma ------------- Original Text From: "Mark Briggs" <[email protected]>, on 9/2/98 2:51 PM: To: Cc: One other point to bear in mind - towers often prove to be better hosts than an equivalent desktop version. The FCC requires that the monitor be placed on top of the PC if it is a desktop unit in order to re-create a typical operating condition (refer fig 11 of ANSI C63.4). I have seen several PCs which are ok UNTIL the monitor is placed on top of the host and causes the chassis to flex, reducing the shielding effectiveness of the host and letting the higher frequencies out.
