Cases with EMI shielded windows?

I just started building my first rig in several years, and am taking my first stab at case modding. When I started I decided I wanted a windowed case, but one that was EMI shielded in case I ever needed to use it as an htpc. I picked up a thermaltake skull for cheap and started modding it to try and make it not so fugly, but I'm starting to see its not big enough for what I plan on using.

The only other two I know of are the TT Shark, which is big enough, but I don't like the idea that the side is open since I'm air cooling, and the Aerocool Spiral Galaxies, which it probably what I'll go with, but I've heard people have problems with airflow and psu cable lengths in this case.

Does anyone know of any other cases with EMI windows, or alternatively some place that sells just emi side panels for other cases (like Lian Li or Antec)? Any input would be helpful.
 
Heh. Lots of people use "non EMI shielded cases" for HTPCs and get away from it. If you're really worried, most BIOS's have a "spread spectrum" setting which you can enable.

Now... If you REALLY are dead - set on EMI shielding, look for a product called "Modders Mesh" at lots of different modding websites. MNPCtech (my favourite Modding website) is where it's most easily found.

The honeycomb option down below the round hole option is basically the same (useless :p) thing that "EMI shielded" cases use.
 
So I'm guessing most people here don't put much stock in these then. I was thinking about just going with the modder's mesh, but I'm not really how much it would prevent EMI vs. windows designed w/ EMI shielding. The one on my TT Skull says that its been tested and proven to stop EMI.
 
my Thermaltake Xaser 3000 has a shielded window. Bought it in 04 though.
