Travel straight back to 2008 and the definitive era of Frutiger Aero design with an authentic, wonderfully preserved desktop time capsule: an original Compaq Presario SR5410F Micro-Tower Desktop PC!

Featuring Compaq’s iconic late-2000s two-tone styling—pairing a deep matte-gray chassis with a gloss-black optical drive bezel, bold lowercase "q" emblem, and sleek horizontal power bar—this SR5410F is a true turn-of-the-decade icon. What makes this specific tower special is the original factory retail spec sheet sticker still permanently affixed to the front drive door, documenting its authentic 2008 showroom specifications.

Powered by an Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2160 processor running at 1.80GHz, 1GB of RAM, and an upgraded/expanded ~400GB SATA hard drive (363 GB formatted NTFS C: partition with over 277 GB of free space), this system runs an authentic installation of Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 2) complete with native Windows Aero Glass transparency and the classic animated desktop sidebar gadgets.

For retro PC gamers, this system is an ideal, dedicated battlestation for mid-to-late 2000s titles that suffer from compatibility headaches, modern OS DRM blocks, or resolution scaling issues on Windows 10/11. It effortlessly handles favorites like The Sims 2 & 3, Spore, Civilization IV, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, Portal, Peggle, Half-Life 2, and Command & Conquer 3.

Equipped with an internal LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±RW optical drive, convenient front-panel USB and 3.5mm audio ports, dual PS/2 legacy ports, 10/100 Ethernet networking, and native analog VGA video output (ideal for connecting directly to external CRT monitors or vintage 4:3 LCDs), it delivers a pure 2008 computing experience.

Condition Notes

The Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2160 processor runs cool and quiet, memory tests healthy, and the hard drive reads and writes cleanly. Front and rear USB ports respond promptly, the optical drive ejects properly, and the onboard VGA port outputs a crisp, clear video signal.

• Cosmetic Condition: Great vintage condition overall. The front dark gray faceplate, gloss-black optical trim, and side steel casing are structurally solid with no cracked plastic or broken hinges. Shows light, normal cosmetic surface marks and faint shelf wear consistent with age and careful handling. The rare factory showroom specification sticker is intact and fully legible.
