Removing the RF shield is not recommended, because it is required to
comply with FCC emissions requirements.  However, it does not affect the
operation of the computer itself.  If you remove the shield, you AND
YOUR NEIGHBORS might get interference on your TV's, and you will
certainly not be able to use your AM radio.  I don't know about ham, CB,
or other radios.
