They make 'em: http://www.directron.com/pc75.html

What about that gaping big square-foot hole in the side?

I have even seen an all stainless steel case which is used around
food


The old "PC Power and Cooling" all-metal-tower used to be good (I think
it was available in chrome!), but they don't sell them anymore
(probably because they cost several hundred $).

I'm not looking for anything particularly stylish. Just a case without
big holes covered by plastic.

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

Warmest regards,
John

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,

If you buy a brand name computer it meets some prety good FCC specs
for emission. IMO if you are carefull any good all-metal case will
produce an EMI-tight case.
