Personally, I'd place a sheet of aluminum window screen between the acrylic
sheet and the case--that way I could still get the effect of looking into
the case, and still be shielded...

Other than that, I'd pick the one from their catalog which DOESN'T have the
"big gaping hole" in the side... grin

FYI:

Some plastic used in cases has a "flash" coating of aluminum
(sputtered in a vacuum chamber). While the metal is extremely thin,
just a few microns, it is enough to provide RFI shielding.

Obviously not as good as solid metal for shielding, but good enough
for many uses. Check out what sort of plastic before assuming it will
not shield.

Happy trails,
