$200 for a case (chassis) is not that expensive.
I was toying around of the idea of having a chassis EDM'd from a solid block of titanium. L&M cost would be $58,000.00. What a bargain!
The heat transfer statement doesn't apply since computer components rely on forced air and/or convection to remove heat.

You know, there is a forum for computer cases...it's called cases and cooling.
why don't you just use that money and build a case that runs liquid nitrogen?

Because LN2 is horribly inefficient and not good for cooling [micro/mini] computers. There are [non expendable] systems designed to cool electronics to cryogenic temperatures.
Micro computer systems should not be running with such little margin that 500W of cooling is necessary for a CPU.
A precision machined case allows components to operate in a variety of harsh environments, provides provisioning for ancillary shielding components as well as exceptional control over aural disturbances. The cost of the case at the quoted amount is a fraction of the hardware cost so it's not absurd as one may think.
