What type of material is my pc case? My pc case is a Raidmax Vortex V4. I just need to know what the side panels are made of. Thanks.

Which metal? If a magnet sticks to it its steel or iron (probably steel) and if it doesn't its aluminium. That is assuming its either aluminium or steel which it probably is.

Intel Core i7 4770k - 2x Geforce GTX 780 - MSI Z87 MPower Max - Corsair H60 - 8GB Avexir Core Series MPower Yellow + 4gb no-brand DDR3 - Corsair Obsidian 750d - AData XPG SX900 256gb SSD - Seagate Barracuda 3TB (7200 RPM) - Hitachi 250GB 2.5in HDD (3200 RPM) - WD HDD 160GB extracted from iMac via black magic (no specified RPM) - ASUS VG248QE 144HZ 3d Vision Monitor - Logitech G602 - Ducky Shine 3 TKL - AKG 172 HD Headphones - Xperia z2 - Sony Noise canceling earphones -  Nikon D5200 With Bundled Lenses - Windows 7 Home Premium - Blue Snowball iCE - Acer Aspire X with a broken case, AMD A6, and Raijintek Aidos CPU heatsink

Cut a non visible spot with a plastic knife. If the case rips up the knife, that means it's metal.

They are usually made of cold rolled galvanized steel, other than that some other manufacture's may use aluminum.
