Stopping RFI from a PC



I replaced a PSU in my PC, and the result is that the new PSU is more reliable; however, the RFI seems to have dramatically increased. The PC is in a building about 100' from the house and 75' from the garage. If I turn my car AM radio on in the garage, the interference is quite noticeable. Same with aa AM radio in the bedroom. Since the PC is already in a metal chassis, what can I do to reduce the interference? Of course, turning off the PC helps a good deal, but the PC needs to be in operation 7/24.
