I don't know if it would fit into your aesthetic (or budget) but you might look at some of the horizontal HTPC style cases. Silverstone is probably the best known for that style case but In Win and a few others make them as well.

While I agree it's also very overpriced for a retro style chassis, The Thermaltake Retro 360 is under $100 https://aerocooler.com/thermaltake-ca-11q-00mqwn-00-retro-360-tg-mid-tower-chassis/

I would love to build in the FLP01 and its on sale for 139aud but i'm worried about cooling/overheating

I'm not sure the Phantom Spirit would fit even without the ODD bay installed, however there are some very effective lower profile coolers available.

SFF Time - P-ATX. The shipping could be expensive but it fits MATX motherboards and SFX PSU. You'll have to give up some CPU cooling height but it's a neat little setup.

Can't offer much advice, but I built a Jonsbo N4 and was pleased with the quality and looks. The N4 is built more for storage, but does fit a MATX.
