Using the case to aid in cooling

I've been wondering for a while now...I have these big cases that are fairly thick metal. I like to OC and I notice that the damn cases aren't even getting that warm. I've seen some innovative cases that are designed to help wick the heat away from parts of the mobo and CPU.

I guess it's just kind of bothering me, when we spend all this time, money, and thought on buying and setting up the perfect HSF when the while deal is sitting INSIDE what's effectively an enormous heat sink.

Anyone else ever had this thought?
 
It's a valid point, but most of the solutions i've seen so far have been rather extreme... and costly. I'm definitely a fan of passive cooling tho so anything to reduce the number or speed of fans would be welcome, provided it's affordable.
 
Zalman's TNN solutions use only the case to cool the CPU, GPU, NB, and powersupply. It costs about $1200.
