Microwaves and computers

[spikes85]

I'm not sure where to ask this question...but here goes

I'm planning to have a microwave a foot away from my monitor. Does anyone know if this could cause damage to computer parts? I have limited room so I'm not sure where to put it.

Thanks

I don't know. Sounds kinda risky for you...but with a tin foil hat you should be okay.

Wingy has something you can mold the foil around...

Liar! you have plenty of room! you just don't want to get off your arse to make yourself a meal! admit it! And don't give me that crap about having your freezer next to your PC as a cooling solution! Get some exercise!


Seriously though, I think most modern microwaves are shielded, but it's not worth quoting me on that. Could you store the microwave in a cupboard or somewhere as you would a toaster - only taking it out when you need it. Microwaved food isn't good for you anyway.
