    Ok ive done reseach on pump shielding for my Via pump since it causes my monitor to do the wave. I found that people cover them in a ful metal jacket and that fixes it. So i put a side panal from an old server case to test it. It still did the wave but not as bad. Then i bought some 16 gauge steel and placed that between the monitor and pump. This made a wall between the case and monitor and it was still shakin??? I am grounding the metal to the psu to. If i make the shield that surrounds the whole pump would that get rid of the problem?

    Possibly. I would also explore the possibility that interference is communicated over the power lines (are they both plugged in the same socket?).

    No that cant be it when theres a distance of about 2 feet theres no interference. Maybe its going around it since it doesnt completly surround it? Im going to find some more panals and try to isolate the pump.

    edit/ Im overlooking something probably. I have both server panals and the 16 gauge steel sheet between and it still shakes? I dont see a way that it could be going over the monitor cause i surrounded it with the panals and still know luck. but if i move the monitor 2 feet away its fine but i want it next to the case :sigh: . What about brass? But i dont know if i can find a sheet of brass cheap.

    But when i bumb it to 70 or higher it shakes? Wierd.. Well im making a shield out of a PSu box and steel for looks anyways.
