I have a PD II and have not had rf problems, but I had a NEC GB-1 that
would make my hard drive go wild when it was in an adjacent slot, and
in high res mode.  The PD II DOES have heat problems.  I have to find a 
way to keep it a little cooler, or the picture jitters in 1024x768 mode.

Any suggestions on retro-fitting extra fans onto a tower case?  It has
an extra fan grill, but it is on top, and the boards are on the bottom
of the machine.  Doesn't seem like it would help.  -Pete
