Because the sale of a case is not illegal, but have you ever seen a brand name manufacturer selling them built-up (as they have to conform to the Standards by law)?

Why can you buy bike racks for tow-bars of cars, when in most cases they (or the bikes) partially obscure a number plate ($150 instant fine, it's illegal to block the view of the plate)?

It's also generally illegal to fit a bull-bar to a light vehicle (SUV etc) that is first registered after Feb 2003, but you can buy the bull-bar.

The list goes on ...

But I would not want to live close to someone using a PC in an unshielded case, I may as well throw my communications receiver away, as it would raise the noise floor quite a lot.
