No hassle. No setup pain. Just classic computing done properly.

Storage: 240GB SSD – fast boot times, quick installs, responsive XP performance

🪟 Windows XP Retro Gaming Ready

Windows XP remains one of the best platforms for:

🎮 Early 2000s PC games
🧰 Legacy and industrial software
🎧 Classic peripherals and drivers
💿 Physical CD-ROM installs

This PC makes an ideal offline XP gaming machine — fast, responsive, and dedicated to retro use.

Note on Internet Use: Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft. If you connect it online, you should do so behind a modern firewall/router and at your own risk. Best practice is to keep it offline.
