Well, I've run my big, medium, and small coils in the garage for years 
with PC's on etc.. Never really had a problem until I once forgot to RF 
ground a small coil. It did it's toll on the computer I was using at the 
time and killed my sons XBOX 360. So, I'm in the arena of don't risk 
what you don't have to (bad things do happen and always when we least 
expect it).

Take care,
Bart
