Acrylic EMI STaTIC

I am making an all acrylic case, and was wondering what EMI would have to do with it, and what it is.

I have an all acryllic case and it's less than a foot from my TV, only a couple feet from my speakers, and only about 3 feet from my monitor, and I have no EMI issues.

What does EMI do ? What is it ?

EMI stands for Electro-Magnetic Interference. Modern high speed CPU's and other components of a modern PC generate EMI emmisions. In some cases this can affect other electronic things like monitors or speakers. Most PC cases have EMI shielding built-in, but I have never encountered a problem with my acryllic case, like I said.
