On cpu cooler clearance there is little in it, 170 mm on the Antec P20C versus 165 mm on the Thermaltake View 270 Plus TG ARGB. There is a split on radiator support as well, Front up to 360mm, top up to 360mm, rear... on the Antec P20C versus Front 360mm, Top 360mm on the Thermaltake View 270 Plus TG ARGB.

Who each one is for
The Antec P20C is the one to take for tight-budget builds and airflow-first builds under $600 total, though it is not the pick for E-ATX motherboards and showcase RGB aesthetics. The Thermaltake View 270 Plus TG ARGB suits showcase builds wanting maximum glass visibility and budget dual-chamber builds, though it is the wrong buy for high-heat components needing maximum front airflow and anyone prioritizing airflow over looks. Our rating of the Antec P20C (7.5/10): the cheapest genuinely good mesh airflow case in our catalog, no meaningful corners cut for the price. Our rating of the Thermaltake View 270 Plus TG ARGB (7.5/10): A good budget alternative to premium dual-chamber showcase cases, though front airflow takes a hit from the all-glass front panel.
Where the two are identical
