I want to build a whole new server, starting with a wooden case that makes it perfectly silent (but allows for good air flow).

Btw: does anybody know what bad things actually happen if there is no metal cage that blocks all the radio?

Never good to intentionally pollute.

Noise happens. Could be no problem, or it could hurt your wifi or mobile data connections, or maybe raise a neighbor’s ham radio noise floor. I saw this recently when setting up a pi to run BirdNet-Pi. The USB3 connection to an SSD caused enough noise in the 2.4GHz band that the onboard wifi radio could only connect on the 5GHz band.
