The irony of me being a computer sci graduate (software not hardware) and getting two Dell XPS M2010s from my restaurant job 😅 didnt really know what I had until I got home and started doing some research. Been reading about retro pcs for the last week and might have found a very expensive new hobby, lol.

The coating has degraded on the complete one, so its really sticky. The optical drive takes cds, ejects, and attempts to read cds (fails though). Did my best to clean it gently but it's not happening. After a new cmos battery, some rewiring on the hard drive connector, and struggling to get the optical drive plugged everything else is functional and in good health! Super cool find. I went to the Retro Gaming Expo and had some fun looking at the retro pcs today!

Selling two rare pieces of mid-2000s Dell XPS history!

Dell XPS M2010

- Fully functional, boots into Windows

- Original wireless keyboard, mouse, and remote

- Original carrying case, charger, manuals, and documentation

- Excellent overall condition

- Optical drive ejects but currently isn't reading discs

Dell XPS H2C Gaming Tower

- Rare high-end Dell XPS gaming desktop

- Original H2C cooling system

- Triple NVIDIA GPUs in SLI configuration

- Successfully POSTs and enters BIOS

- Includes additional 600W PSU and PSU synchronization adapter

- No hard drive installed

Both are impressive, increasingly hard-to-find machines from Dell's enthusiast era.

Open to offers (OBO) on either or both.

I'll be at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo this weekend, so local pickup or meeting at the expo is possible.

PM me if interested!
