 | The case has already been modded to make the Mitac AT compatible (it was a failure). Now, a few original parts won't fit anymore, which leads to more modding. |

 | This is the Mitac 486's CPU, an old Intel 486DX/33. It's so old it doesn't even need a heatsink. |
 | Because the PSU has already been modded in several ways there was no power connector for the floppy so the cables were just soldered. |
 | There are also a few original mods on the mainboard. Here, a tantal capacitor has been soldered over a chip to block voltage peaks. |
 | Something was modded here as well. |
 | Here you see the PC's PSU, yes, you SEE it! The cover has disappeared somehow because !mURx used his cutting-disc. Now it's just open. The most gross thing is that it is kept in place by a cable tie on the fan, which is fastened by only one screw! |

 | The Mitac has a ground, too! Only the outlet should be grounded now. |
 | This is the external CMOS battery pack. |
 | This is the harddisk. Since the 5.25" frame was shit it was fastened with strings. |
 | The harddisk's power supply was also modded. |
 | As mentioned before, the Mitac case was modded with the cutting-disc. That's why the ISA cards can't be fastened anymore. A piece of meccano helped. |
