if this is a good idea? regards,

Mine is to the side of the audio rack and sits on a piece of wood. The PC sits on cones. I think it performs better on a hard surface with some isolation.

Mine is above everything else and not inside the cabinet since it runs so hot.

This is in addition to any concerns about about RFI or EMF. If you can mechanically isolate the PLC, you may hear an improvement in sound.
