[Elecraft] RF problem & Serial to Serial cable with built-in chokes

Would anyone know of  a good quality Serial to Serial  cable that's 
available with built-in chokes?  (chokes built onto the  serial cable similar to 
monitor cables)   I've done some internet  searches and haven't found any.  
 
I'm having problems with RF getting into my  computer and locking it up.  
I'm suspecting the Serial to Serial cable between the CPU and the K3.   I've 
tried different serial cables, different computers, tried snap on  chokes 
from Radio Shack, tied all equipment into a common ground... all without  any 
benefit.  (my antennas have low SWR's and I don't use an Antenna  Tuner).  
 
If a serial to serial cable with built-in chokes is unavailable, should I 
expect much better results from snap on  Fair-Rite chokes over Radio Shack 
chokes?
 
Thanks & 73,
 
Dick- K9OM
