Thats not been a problem here Mike, and you know well that about a 
kilowatt of switchmodes are at work here, 24/7/365.

They are in all modern tv, vcr's, cd & dvd players, not to mention 
these two computers & the 1400 watt ups.  The only time I've had 
'digital' noise problems was with one of those little clamshell cd 
players with a wall wart, it will tear up an fm radio sitting next to 
it with its '1 bit' convertor.
