MPC-420-H Mobility PC Small Computer with PCI Slot

MPC-420-H Front View

Mobility PCs are small desktop computers, that are a fraction of the size of a traditional desktop PC. This makes them the perfect choice for use in any area where space is constrained. Their small size, computing power, features, robust design and thermal efficiency allow them to be used in a vast range of applications.

The MPC-420-H is a fully integrated desktop PC, including a PCI slot. It supports Intel Celeron 2.0GHz processors, up to 2GB of RAM and standard 2.5-inch hard disk drives, or CF solid-state drives. It includes 3D video, 16-bit audio, 10/100 LAN, an IEEE-1394 Firewire port, three USB 2.0 ports, an RS232 serial port and a parallel port. An optional CD, DVD+CD/RW or DVD+DVD/RW drive can also be fitted.

Drivers are provided for all major Operating systems: Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and Linux. The included driver CD makes operating system installation totally painless. The MPC-420-H is powered from a small autoswitching (110/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz), notebook type, 12VDC power adaptor.

Because of their small size and design, MPC-420-Hs are ideal for VoIP applications or as wall mounted controllers (with an optional mounting plate), or fitted in electrical cabinets (used as PCs that don't look like PCs).
