After reading in another thread about microwave ovens.
I think that if you were to earth one then it should be ok to shield your stuff.
You could use a old one which is not connected to power.
If your in the UK or Oz then it would be earthed if plugged into the mains. In the UK you could just remove the fuse so there is no chance of it turning on and cooking your stuff, and it would still be connected to earth.
Ok it's not going to be very big, but big enough to save your ipod, a radio etc

Anyone know a reason why this would not work well as a Faraday Cage??
