(well OT for openbsd-misc...) The slots and holes in a case and the cables coming out are going to be your problem. If you are radiating out the solid metal parts of your case you have other problems. Google 'slot antenna' for more info. Also the book "Noise Reduction Techniques for Electronic Systems" by Henry Ott is very thorough. Perhaps you should try shielding your wife instead of the computer equipment. Put her in one of these: http://www.djmelectronics.com/quietbox.html :-) -- Hardware, n.: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.
