Genuine vintage Alienware Area-51 7500 gaming desktop featuring the iconic Alienware chassis, illuminated Alien-head logos, blue case lighting, and period-correct gaming hardware.

TESTED & WORKING: The computer powers on normally using the front power button, successfully completes POST, enters BIOS, recognizes the installed memory and hard drive, produces normal video output through the NVIDIA graphics card, and successfully boots into Windows 7 Ultimate. The Alienware chassis lighting is also operational.

Condition
This is a vintage used computer and shows normal cosmetic wear, scratches and scuffs from age and use. There is some cosmetic wear/damage to portions of the exterior trim/grille. Please examine the photographs carefully for the exact cosmetic condition.
The system has been tested as described above, but due to its age, every individual port, program, optical-drive function and component has not been extensively stress-tested.
The existing Windows installation contains older software and may occasionally display startup/software messages associated with its age. This computer is being offered primarily as a vintage Alienware collector PC, retro gaming computer, restoration platform, or piece of PC gaming history, rather than as a modern gaming computer.
The power supply is installed and successfully powers the system; however, its exact manufacturer/model/wattage could not be verified without additional disassembly.
A Great Vintage Alienware Survivor
This Area-51 retains a great late-2000s gaming combination with the Core 2 Duo E8400, ASUS P5N-D enthusiast motherboard, NVIDIA GTX 260, 4GB RAM and 1TB hard drive.
The computer is substantially complete and, most importantly, actually powers on from the front panel and boots into Windows.
Due to the age of the hardware, it is sold as vintage equipment and no guarantee is made regarding the future service life of the hard drive, power supply, fans, optical drive, or other components.
Computer tower only. Monitor, keyboard and mouse are not included.
