It sounds like you probably shorted something. Without seeing a schematic it's hard to guess what. Even a hot chassis set shouldn't have a hot antenna. Hopefully your computer doesn't have a hot chassis.

There is one wiring error on a grounded outlet that doesn't show up with a simple tester. If the hot is made ground and the ground and neutral made hot it'll test o.k., but the ground will be hot. I found this out the hard way while stupidly having one hand on an appliance and the other turning on a faucet.

Another possibility would be if they use the power cord for a FM antenna. Sometimes there's a silver mica connected from one leg of the line to the antenna input. If it has one and it was shorted...
