How good are Micron PC? I have a tower, but I can't find much information about it. I know that someone will tell me that they found tons of info 😒 , but except a picture here and there I haven't found much.
It's a Micro millennia MAX, at least I think so. I just don't know if I should part it out or keep it. It's fairly big and it takes up a lot of space.

They made pretty okay desktops but some of their laptops for the time were quite nice. I had a Transport XKE and that was a beefy MMX machine for its time.

Micron PC sucked....but Micron Computer Inc made some pretty badass 486 and early Pentium systems.

Oops 😊 I forgot about posting a picture
I took out all the storage devices inside of the case, so that's why it looks empty.

My "GhettoPC" (hey, it was old in 2002, and considered weird to be using it as a daily driver!) was a custom build Pentium-II from Micron, in a full tower case.
Stiletto's GhettoPC (TM)
Originally it had a Number Nine Imagine 128 Series II for video, and stock audio. My first upgrades were a firmware upgrade for the Number Nine (mail order!), a Voodoo2, and an AWE64 gold. Later I gave it the Voodoo3 and the SBLive.

I still have it, but it's not currently in use.

I was thinking of reusing the case for something like a workstation seeing that it has 4 fans inside (not pictured) and a lot of hard drive caddies. I originally saved it from the dumpster pretty much, I noticed it had a lot of PCI cards and thought they might come in handy.
