Product Overview

These Workhorse PCs are reliable, no-frills machines designed for users who need the power and compatibility of Windows XP, paired with fast, modern storage to give XP a new lease of life.
Thanks to the included 120GB SSD, this system boots incredibly quickly, launches programs almost instantly, and feels dramatically snappier than traditional XP machines that ran on old, slow mechanical hard drives. In short: this is a rapid XP PC built for getting things done fast.

Alongside the performance boost, the machine still offers essential legacy connectivity such as serial, parallel, VGA, and DisplayPort, making it ideal for older peripherals, specialist hardware, or industrial equipment that still relies on XP.

Cosmetically, they’re rough and ready: expect scuffs, scratches, wear, and possibly dents—but each unit is fully tested and fully functional where it counts.

Photos shown are example models. You will typically receive a Dell OptiPlex 7xx / 9xx Series.
