Here's a list of what the newest KryoTech K6-3 500MHz PC offers, including the changes versus the Cool K6-2 500 machine that was previously reviewed:

• WinNT Support
• SCSI Support
• Reduced price ($1,250 now, vs. previous price of $1,695)
• Faster CPU (K6-3 now, vs. previous K6-2)
• Superior Mainboard (ASUS P5A now, vs. previous FIC PA-2013)
• 5 PCI Slots (Versus previous amount of 4)
• CPU Temperature LCD display moved to unit's base (Makes additional 5.25" bay available)
• Revised CPU Thermal Jacket (Much easier to engage/disengage for CPU swaps)
