An appliance such as a personal computer includes a metal chassis which has a first section, and a second section mounted on the first section. The first chassis section forms a first space in which a motherboard is mounted. The second chassis section forms a second space in which a disk drive is mounted. The second chassis section defines a shield resisting the passage of electromagnetic waves between the first and second spaces to isolate the motherboard from a disk opening for the disk drive thereof.
