I have a Panasonic phone with the transmitter/receiver on a desk above
the cube.  The cube does not affect this.  However, I do get noise on
the handset when sitting at the desk, a foot or so away from the
receiver, the cube and the VDT.  The cube is in a room with a lot of
sensitive audio equipment, including a low output moving coil cartridge.
There is no noticable noise on the audio system.  I don't know if the
noise on the handset is from the cube or the VDT.
