Speaking of Faraday cages, how would one go about doing this?
I'm preparing an area of my basement (directly below the breaker
box :) to be used as a computer room, and I'd like to shield it
as much as possible. Since the TV is going to be ~20 feet from
the VAXen, I'm rather concerned...
The cages I've seen are made from an expensive copper screen,
like window screen, but they are for doing FCC interference
measurements, not shielding. I can get 1/2 inch square fencing
from the look home improvement center, but it is galvanized and
quite a bit coarser...
Comments?
