I'm looking for a PC case that keeps noise to a minimum while also providing good thermal performance. Right now, I'm considering the Corsair 4000D RS FRAME, Lian Li 216, Montech 903 Max, and Antec Flux. Any thoughts or recommendations?

Yeah, balancing noise and cooling is tricky. Generally, better cooling means more noise. I recommend looking for cases with manual fan speed control so you can use high-performance fans and dial them down when you want a quieter setup.
The Lian Li 216 is the clear winner in my book. Bigger fans move more air at lower RPMs, which means less noise. Plus, it has two 160mm front fans, which really helps with cooling. I've got a similar setup with great airflow and it's nearly silent, so I recommend it!
