Now I could be wrong on this but isn't one of the reason most cases are metal for the EMI shielding that they can do? I like having a metal case, not sure what else I would want it made out of.

It wouldn't meet the EMI shileding requirements for various standards and as such the systems would be less stable.

IBM did a heap of research on this back in the 70's, computers should not be housed in plastic or cardboard for this very reason.
