Should I sacrifice airflow for 2 5,25 bay?

[Techdragon2]

As the title suggests,I am very clueless. I have an old DVD burner that I want to use (we have quite a lot of DVDs at home).But should I go with more airflow or a case with a 5,25 bay (front has 2 mesh lines). Both are same price, but the one with more airflow (full mesh front) comes with 3 instead of 2. The system itself isnt that powerfull. What should I

if you only need one go with more airflow, otherwise go for the 2 bays

Only going with one. But where should I put it then, or even use it?

An external USB DVD burner costs like $20, there's no reason to keep those old heavy bays and get bad airflow old design cases

if you want to use it then use it, no one else can decide that. Go with one if you need it
