Acrylic cases provide no EM shielding at all, while the usual aluminium cases provide a bit... its not usually a problem, computers arn't that sensetive. But if you are in a particually noisy enviroment or are working with professional-grade audio, you might need to give that some consideration.

So he has decided that he wants to try a clear acrylic case but desperately wants it to be a full tower like the size of the kandalf or armor. Then, spend whatever money is left over on the WC.

So, could you guys please help me to find a BIG clear acrylic case for him

Thankyou

You could build your own acryllic case. Thats what I have done for 2 builds.
One of them is water tight

still expensive I would say but it is a larger case with some options to customize a little bit
