Hello ??? (what's your name?),
Only actually trying you can tell if enclosing the Rx hardware into
the PC case
can cause interferences... I know of one case where it did not. My
friend Giuliano I0CG,
the designer of the SDR-X transceiver (see http://www.i0cg.com/sdr-x.htm
)
did put into the case of the TRx a board with the Intel Atom 330
processor, running
Windows XP. The photo at the bottom of the referenced page shows
exactly
that realization.
He said to me that he wasn't able to notice any interference... of
course you must take
the usual screening measures, but nothing trascendental....
