I think you will be going down a road of "hit and miss".....It might,
and it might not. I have a plasma machine that I put the PC in the same
metallic NEMA 4 enclosure and I had flaky occasions. At first I thought
it was the hypertherm, but I had to explore other options first. I could
only conclude it was crosstalk and RF of sorts causing this within the
box. I had quickly found out that a PC outside of this box did work
without problems, so I removed it all. I still have a Flashcut Signal
generator inside that cabinet though, and it works fine. So, I would
conclude that in the Case of Flashcut, you could mount the Signal
generator within a driver box, OR mount their board on a 5.25 tray in
the computer itself. One of those two options will save some space.
Can't comment beyond that.

So, unless you have a degree in RF isolation, it might be awaste of
time. Just my Opinion, and I gots lots of 'em !
