    Cases are usually constructed from steel (often SECC—Steel, Electrically Chromate Coated) or aluminium. Plastic is sometimes used, and other materials such as wood and even Lego blocks have appeared in home-built cases.

    You could try using Tin but I'm not sure you'll have the same results as Aluminum.
