The Enlight cases now have an ATX line. they are good and the price is
right. I buy them locally but shop around on the net and you'll find
them at a good price.

I don't know about the K6-2, but the K6-300 runs COLD if you can believe
that. I played with different voltages, as high as 2.4V, and it won't
get warm even. On this particular system it's running at 3 X 100 at 2.2V
with EDO RAM and no problems. On another I took it to 3.5 x 100 with
2.3V and PC-100 RAM and still no heat and running great. Might get
myself one of these <g>.
