Item Description

Travel straight back to the mid-to-late 2000s and the golden age of living-room battlestations with an authentic, ultra-compact design icon: an original Dell XPS 210 Small Form Factor (SFF) Desktop PC!

Long regarded as one of Dell’s sleekest industrial designs, the XPS 210 stands out with its heavy glossy white outer shell, brushed silver front faceplate, chrome accent trim, and vertical sliding front concealment door. Powered by an authentic 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 processor running at 1.86GHz, 3GB of DDR2 RAM, and a spacious 500GB SATA hard drive (465 GB formatted NTFS partition with 453 GB of free space), this system runs a clean, authentic installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit.

For retro PC gamers, this system is an absolute gem for bridging mid-to-late 2000s PC classics that struggle with DRM blocks, modern OS scaling glitches, or crash-to-desktop errors on Windows 10/11. Backed by integrated graphics and robust processing power, it effortlessly glides through era favorites like The Sims 2 & 3, Half-Life 2, Portal, Civilization IV, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Spore, Command & Conquer 3, and Diablo II.

Engineered to function seamlessly as either a vertical mini-tower or a low-profile horizontal desktop beneath a vintage monitor, it boasts phenomenal connectivity: an integrated vertical slot-loading DVD±RW optical drive, a front-facing multi-card reader, dual IEEE 1394 FireWire ports, front and rear USB ports, full 7.1-channel analog audio plus optical S/PDIF digital audio output, gigabit Ethernet, and native analog VGA video output (ideal for CRT gaming monitors or vintage 4:3 LCDs).

• Functional Condition: 100% bench-tested and fully operational. Boots cleanly and swiftly into Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz processor runs smooth and quiet, all 3GB of RAM are detected, and the 500GB hard drive reads and writes cleanly with a healthy partition. Front/rear USB ports respond promptly, the slot-loading optical drive accepts and reads discs properly, and the onboard VGA port outputs a crisp, clear video signal.

• Cosmetic Condition: Great vintage condition overall. The glossy white side wrap and silver faceplate are structurally sound with no cracks or broken casing tabs. The sliding front door mechanisms operate smoothly. Shows minor, normal cosmetic surface marks and light hairline scuffs on the gloss finish consistent with careful use and age. Factory case badges and the rear service tag barcode sticker remain intact and fully legible. Please review the high-resolution photos for an exact look at physical condition.
