What about a Thermaltake Tsunami with the side-window? I guess this side-window is just as bad? And therefore ruins an aliminium case?

djnav, I would probably be interested on buying individual parts if you don't sell it as a whole.

"Acrylic computer cases are designed as display cases ONLY and are NOT
equipped for Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI) shielding purpose"

They can also can cause problems for hard drives, unless the HDD's specially built to be isolated. Contact with the drive cage cools and eliminates electro-static charges.

Since EMI/RFI range is pretty limited, unless you're living in an apartment building / dorm, you're likely just affected yourself.

Looks cool, but if your wireless phone / TV / monitor goes wonky when the PC's on, you'll know who to blame.

I suppose if you buy a used PC with an acrylic case, you could justifiably return it to the seller for a full refund if there's a problem.
