Characteristics of computer case? Steel vs Alum

Hi, I was told a steel case will be quieter than aluminum case. But Aluminum case will be ligher.


Summary,

noise: Steel< Alum
weight:Alum< steel
Cooling:Alum<steel
Price: Steel<Alum

If i am not not modding/overclocking cpu, and play some games like WC3 and WOW.

I am thinking about getting a full size tower with steel construction and save the money. I have seen and heard someone's crazy OCed computer with watercooling and a dozen fans in an high end aluminum enclosure, and that is loud as a construction zone.
Is my logic ok? please advise
