ABOUT:For your consideration is another piece from my personal collection of retro gaming systems, an original Dell XPS Pentium tower in that popular and legendary chassis shared with Micron, Digital, UMAX Mac slones, and so many others. This unit has NO hard drive, but does have both a 3.5" floppy and a CD-ROM (and a free IDE bus), and has been tested to POST and BOOT from a DOS floppy and from a Windows XP DVD. This is a clean project ready for enthusiast restoration.
Please remember that, while I am a retro tech enthusiast, I am not an expert on the specifics of any given piece of retro technology. Some small components may be missing that I am not familiar with, so please ask any questions BEFORE offerding. This is a piece of 90's/Early 1990's technology that is incomplete, and offerding on it constitutes an interest to tinker with the understanding of nearly guaranteed random hardware issues and unexpected hurdles common to retro technology.

• A period-correct Dell QuietKey keyboard is Dell tower is in very good condition for the age, and presents quite nicely as a useable collector's piece. The case plastics are in exceptional condition, these towers have truly stood the test of time vs. many other computer case plastics. All plastic retains a nice beige color with no cracks and no signs of abuse. The aftermarket DVD-RW drive is a slightly whiter hue than the case. Keyboard has some cosmetic grime that might call for detail cleaning.TESTING:This PC has been tested with a standard VGA 1024x768 LCD monitor and was able to power on, POST, enter the BIOS. The installed DVD was tested to boot to a Windows XP CD, not is a used,barebones, vintage PC that is offered ASIS for enthusiastrebuild or collecting. It is not a modern computer and will require tinkering to findcompatiblecomponents and get it fully functioning. I am offering this unit to another enthusiast with theunderstanding that the buyer is willing toundertake responsibility for the many repair and maintenance variables that come with antique computer components including such delicate tasks as floppy drive reconditioning and capacitor replacement. Due to the weight, this unit cannot ship to a PO Box, APO, or FPO.
