1 it seems to me the strength of the materials determins the srtength of the case, therefor an acrilic or plexi case schould be less strong, but i think it schould still be strong enough, if not they would not be sold.
2 there is a signifant amount of couling included in a metal case (metal guides heat) you'd think it wouldn't be mutch, but i built a wooden pc case and with a 400 mhrz celeron i still had to puting a extra fan. i know nothing of the poperty's of acril, but that's oone of the things i would look into.
3 on the other hand transparant cases are cool
