KingRex Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Has anyone built a Faraday shield in their server case to surround something such as a jcat pci Ethernet card. How did you do it. Did you remote mount the card in a corner. Feed it with a separate power supply? Strap the signal wires to the pci slot? Marcin_gps 1 Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 you could use a fine mesh of copper to allow for heat flux Link to comment

Since it needed restating. Inventive simple solutions exist and have as long as people have been building stereo equipment and refining it in their shed. Link to comment
Don Hills Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Ah, the "good old days"... when computer cases had proper EMC shielding with "finger spring" seals on all of the openings. The rot set in with the ISA bus standard rear panel openings. Now cases have huge plastic windows so you can see the coloured LEDs on the fans etc... marce 1 "People hear what they see." - Doris Day The forum would be a much better place if everyone were less convinced of how right they were.

And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

rando Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I misjudged my audience's knowledge of this as a countermeasure to surveillance on work provided electronics such as cell phones. While it wasn't appreciated, a thin malleable item that will work as a Faraday cage in the confines of a server case has merit. Link to comment
rando Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 @KingRex or anyone else who might be interested. I forgot to mention Tacx is currently running an open beta trial for their new software based solution. Effectively they are switching over from pay per Real Life Video sales to a flat monthly fee that gives on demand access to any of them online. A smaller amount of rides are available for the open beta. TDA info and download link. Link to comment
