I've connected computer case to radio for years.
I can't honestly say I ever noticed more or less rfi.
nor
Did I ever see any change in audio, nor receive reports of such.
I usually connect my green wire to a screw that holds the power supply
to the case.
Not sure it makes a difference other than, wild guess that if rf is
getting into the computer, power source would be a likely spot.
Like I said, operated with computer to radio grounded and without.
Never saw any difference.
Obviously other peoples mileage may vary.
