A bit of a weird requirement. Trying to find a relatively modern case with good airflow, but with some legacy features like 5.25 bays (1 would be enough 2 would be a bonus) and no psu shroud. I know most people love those shrouds, but I find they just get in the way, and I don't care what it looks like inside the case.

So far, this one looks like the best option. Are these good quality cases?

Bequiet Pure Base 600, I've had one, great little case for the money in all honesty.

This case does look of higher build quality than the other one in my original post, the only thing I'm a bit concerned with it is airflow since its focus is more on sound dampening than thermals. Given my unique requirements though, I suppose compromises need to be made somewhere.
 
I can't see you finding a perfect case. The one you're looking for will have been out of production for 15 years :p

With that in mind, Fractal Design Pop Air or Air XL, and you just have to put up with the PSU shroud (or remove it?)? I haven't looked much into it, but just based on a glance at this case versus the Phanteks & Be Quiet! cases mentioned, the Fractal should be better for cooling as there's nothing impeding airflow behind the front intake fans.

Some pc cases the shroud isn't
Stamped ,pressed or whatever it's called when you
Shape the sheet metal into 1 piece
And isn't riveted in either
So you can just remove the shroud easily
If you want
But finding one that has that plus a 5.25 bay as well
Will be a challenge
