thinking of making a faraday cage for my backup drives, might have to be a bit larger to include a couple of computers smile
Can you not just put them inside your microwave? I believe the bit where you put your food is actually a Faraday cage and it should protect whatever is inside form any large electromagnetic field.

I could be wrong though...

You could easily knock up a Faraday cage using some fine steel mesh and a wooden frame, wouldn't take too long.
