Just get one of the name brand pc's from a yard sale,
or thrift shop. These cases have paint inside that
helps stop the emi from getting out.

Good quality cables are also a must.

Monitors and Cables,,,, www.si87.com www.monitorworld.com I paid
$60.00 (sixty dollars plus ten dollars shipping and handling charges)
for my fifteen feet long computer to computer monitor VGA hookup cable
from si87.com in Bozeman,Montana.Sure,I know,I could have cobbled two
cheap cables for about twenty dollars or less.When I buy my computer
related thingys,I never stint on quality.I know in the long run,it pays
off.

I would have no problem spending money on a commercially made case, if I
could find one I liked. IMHO, they all suck. Flashy plastic and poor
access even with all the covers off (I didn't consider rackmount cases
because I'd like it to be semi-portable).

I do have one "beige box" here, but I seldom open that one, so I don't
care how awkward it is to mount stuff in it. The other one I frequently
swap out components and I want one that gives me better access with the
covers off. I'm considering a "semi-monocoque" design with no frame.
