Casemodding// Can I run a car radio and PC using one power supply?

I would like to install a double-DIN radio into my PC, as I don't have a stereo or speakers. I've already been able to use the radio with a different power supply without any problems, and I know how to connect it. However, I'm wondering if there would be a problem with electromagnetic fields that could interfere with PC gaming (I'm aware that the power supply needs sufficient power). If anyone thinks it's possible and has experience, do they have a capacitor between the radio and the power supply?

There is no need to make a capacitor, PC power supplies are clean enough. However, the NT should not only have a 12V rail and sufficient power.

Don’t get out with 30W to 12V. Gangige carradios have at least 4x40W, usually even 4x50W. Your NT should have at least 800W or even more.

Gas is not enough, is too small. Or you’re building an extra NT for the car radio.

Yeah, I can. 12v connection only to ensure sufficient power from the power supply

Of course, you can clamp a buffer capacitor in between.
