Well the fronts always tended to be plastic, so a clear plastic (or
I guess top-end models _might_ use glass) side isn't that much
different for shielding.

Laptops are already unshielded though (mine drowns out weak FM
radio stations when it's running), and EM radiation from poorly
shielded USB cables (and before that serial cables) are well
known in the form of "mouse noise" picked up by PC speaker cables
running nearby.

The computer world is already a mess of EM noise, so I don't think
clear case sides change much. Users could always fit some wire mesh
inside the case window if concerned about it anyway.

I do quite like this approach to a clear PC case:
