Makes sense..... 43 Watts!!! for 300. 13 Watts less for the 400

Wow! What differences. Looks like I just decided to go to the 333 over the 300, but then the cost savings starts shrinking so maybe I'll argue myself into a 350. To press the cooling issue a bit further, however, the site mentioned recommends against midtower cases for all PII's categorically. So even with a "basic" system with a single HD and only 2-3 bays used would you say one should go ahead and use a full-tower case?....maybe the safest route, but necessary?

AmpTech has this system for 759.00. It has a Cyrix MII-300 chip. It does not say anything about the size of the cache or if it even has one. Does it? Thanks, Bob

Could I get a response about this chip and they are using an unspecified MB so they are probably cutting cost a little there. Over all it sounds good for a limited budget unless you can point to a major flaw in the deal.
