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.

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.
