That's fine half of England's in a drought so they don't have any water anyway.
Surely my PC would be okay? its case is kinda like a Faraday cage?

Sure if your case is a few inches thick, made of lead and earthed.
Haha, quite likely

Why yes my case is earthed, and being a few inches thick, isn't a requirement.

The thicker the cage the more survivable it is and since the articles talking about nukes I doubt that a thin mesh is going to do a great deal.

[B]science fiction[/B] dictates that a nuke must be detonated well up in the atmosphere for it to generate a EMP. [B]science fiction[/B] also dictates that it will just be a emp and fallout. no pressure wave.
as you can see its alot of fear mongering

but if it is completely in space i guess you can remove the fallout.

I guess the time that the US detonated a nuke in the atmosphere and knocked out a bunch of satellites was all science fiction too, right?

no
the faraday cages require the entire em wave to go through the casing before it starts creating a reverse field to nullify the original em field
problem is with an EMP that this wave is short and sharp - not enough time for the cage to accurately respond and your computer will be dead.
(if i recall correctly that is.)
[b]edit:[/b]
also if your case isn't grounded there's a chance that the charge in the Faraday cage will jump to the computer which means you'd also need a grounded Faraday cage
We are going to be the next generation soldiers and we will win every war as long as we play the Call of Duty campaigns.
It seems they are going to copy the plot for strategies and ideas for attacks!
