And put some distance between the supply and the whatever it is interfering with.

RE: power supply interferes
Switching power supplies can do that due to the nature of their high frequency operation. But yeah, like Access said, some insulation will probably do the trick.

RE: power supply interferes
Not insulation, for high-frequency RF (ie. microwave) the metal acts primarily like a reflector (and an absorber). Wrapping it in electrical tape (an insulator) wouldn't have any effect, most of the RF would just pass right through that. If you open up some non-ASIC RF devices you'll often see different modules or boards inside metal boxes or shields to keep them mostly isolated from the rest of the unit. Likewise a microwave oven is primarily inside a metal box, so that the microwaves are almost completely contained within the box rather than radiating outward.
