50/50 between good airflow and noise reduction.
I do not care about looks at all. Midi tower or bigger. My system is medium/high-end if that matters. Thanks for the help /g/.

1. Get old, ugly, used case from ebay
2. Cut fan holes in it wherever you need them.
3. Use layers of cork to isolate the noise.
4. =§=%"($$)/§$=)§%?$"/)?

This.

If you don't care about looks, there's no excuse not to save up on a huge wad of cash and do some DIY. Especially if you have some fans you don't use lying around.

Another upside is that since used is cheaper, you can get better material for the same amount of cash you'd spend on some flimsy aluminium warp drive.

Also those 90s beige cases are made from such thick steel sheets that they could withstand a nuclear war.

Not all of them. The shell is thick as fuck, but often, the back can be this flimsy as fuck aluminium that a common 560 would dislodge from in a matter of a year.

In Europe, where cities aren't thousands of miles apart, they are. I have three LANs of more than 3000 seats in range of less than ten hours of driving, and they're always filled to the brim.
