strangely enough in the product description page antec includes some microscopic pictures of websites that presumably gave it a thumbs up like the above two but doesn't give a link to said websites

here's a youtube video where the reviewer was slightly less impressed

I spent a lot of time researching recently… don't do that this case would be great as would anything similar.
Now, taking chances on $50 cases from no-name China branding is where the fun really begins…

The H5 flow has that awkward angled fan at the bottom of the case. The H5 also does not support a top mounted 360 radiator.
The H6 does not support radiators in the front, and the front fans are angled (instead of blowing directly toward the video card and motherboard as is the case with the Antec P20C). H6 also does not have a removable bottom dust filter for cleaning (there is a mesh filter at the bottom of the case where the 140mm intake fans sit, but you cannot remove that dust cover for cleaning). This is a dual-chamber case, where the power supply sits behind the motherboard (right side of case), and not below/above the motherboard at the bottom or top of the case.
The location of the front panel differs. The H5 has front panel on the top of the case, right-hand side. The H6 has them at the bottom of the case on the front. The Antec P20C has them on top of the case, front and center.
None of these cases have USB-C Gen2x2 (20Gbps) front panel connector. All three cases are 10Gbps.
For these reasons I had initially settled on this case (Antec P20C) due to the lower price point, because I like the direct airflow of the fans coming straight into the case, vs. the fishbowl (dual-chamber) design which seems to be more aligned for aesthetics. I also prefer the front panel to be in the location of the Antec. My case sits on the floor, and the H6 would make it a real PITA to access the front panel. The H5 is a bit better, but out of the way since the case sits on the floor, underneath a L-shaped desk in the corner, and the front panel is hard to reach.
I'm still debating, thinking about picking up an MSI case that has 20Gbps front panel USB-C. Might also revert back to my original choices which support 420mm radiators. I care less about the aesthetics of the case, and more about functionality and ease of access for cleaning.
If you are in the market for a dual-chamber (similar to H6/H9), I'd recommend looking at the Montech King 95 Pro: Products∣Gaming PC cases, PSUs- MONTECH (montechpc.com) [montechpc.com]
FWIW, this case has had this 20% off coupon for a while.
