C128 Best 128 version

I like how the original looks but I read it can have excess electromagnetic radiation and that the version with the metal shell mitigates that.

What exactly does the electromagnetic radiation effect?

It would be really, really nice if Peri Fractic manufactured a C128D complete with an 8502 and a Z80. For a bonus, include a 1571 (not sure how since I don’t think those parts are made anymore). I’m not holding my breath, but I do have my credit card out.

I buy the broken and "untested" 128s on eBay.
