I have a full tower Lian-Li PC-2100b (think it is a "plus II") around somewhere in storage still. I didn't want to ditch it as at least at the time, it was still a very good case, but I just didn't need that many hard drives in it (and especially not now after getting a dedicated storage server). Given it was a full tower it was really light, but incredibly well constructed. If it had 140mm fans, I think it would still be an excellent case even in today's market for someone who wants/needs a lot of hard drives (or water cooling if when redesigning the front lower fans for 140mm made certain there was mounting for a 280mm radiator since there is plenty of room for a nice reservoir and pump just removing one of the sets of hard drive slots (which are removable).
I did extensive sound dampening to mine, adding a 1/3" thick sheet of neoprene/butal rubber to the side panels, and up to several inches of foam on top of that where there were voids in the case, including the front door to help deaden any/all vibration and baffle most of the fans, drasticly cutting down on the noise from the system. I wonder if a 3090 or a 4080 would fit in there....
