Hi Russ.
There are numerous sources of interference that can be generated from a
computer. A good place to start is to turn the monitor off and see if the
noise goes away. Some monitors generate a lot of noise. Sometimes
changing the video signal cable can make a big difference. I experienced
that with a NEC monitor that I used to have. You can try using ferrite
cores on the cables coming out of the computer, although I've had rather
dubious results.
I also had a computer that had a rather noisy SCSI controller, and a leaky
SCSI cable. Changing the SCSI cable went a long way towards reducing the
noise output.
I have found that sometimes the switching supply in the computer can
generate a lot of crud also. If this is happening, there isn't much you
can do about it short of replacing the supply with a better one. The
bottom line is, this probably won't be easy to knock out.
Quiet computers are hard to find. I usually hang on to them with a death
grip when I find one. I cannot get this one that I am typing on anywhere
near a radio or television because it has one of those noisy switching
supplies.
