Mitac X Mitac X Y2K incompliant


The Mitac X is an experimental computer system which has been built of other computers' remains to be a test object for new ideas. The Mitac X is not a super computer because it is based on a seven years old 486 system. Further it contains a lot of ghetto mods!!!

mitacx1.jpgThe Mitac X's case. At the moment it is a pretty unobtrusive midi tower. I painted a cool logo on the left side. In the upper right corner you see the clock module (the small dark rectangle).
mitacx2.jpgThere's not much room inside the Mitac X, but you can work quite well with it. The frame is not of great quality, forcing me to attach the mainboard with a cable bracket. The revolutionary internal lighting cannot be seen here, the PSU hasn't been modded either.
mitacx3.jpgThis is the internal lighting. There's a small transformer on the plate which can be switched on and off. Two 6V light bulbs are connected to it. The power comes directly from the PSU which had to be opened for this reason. The purpose of the lighting is to have both hands free when working inside the case because you don't need a light.
