Description: Welcome to Another Premium Vintage PC Auction from The Old PC Shop! Up for auction is a very clean Gateway Essential mini-tower optimized for hosting Windows 98 (and many Windows 95) legacy applications or some retro games. The mainboard has open PCI slots for additional cards (a PCI video card upgrade would be a good idea for serious retro gaming), and the PC features a new CD-RW drive as well as a functioning 3.5" floppy drive. PC has Intel Pentium III 667 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM, and a fast 40GB SATA hard drive accessed via a SATA-to-IDE converter. A clean install of genuine Windows 98 Second Edition has been completed with all drivers configured, including service-pack updates, DirectX 9c, etc. It has a rare 56K Voice Modem and a Realtek Ethernet NIC configured for TCP/IP networking with DHCP enabled. I have also created a Bootable Restore CD and the Windows 98 SE install binaries are on the hard drive. A power cord is included. The case is in very good condition - see the pictures. If you need accelerated shipping options, please contact me prior to purchasing so I can add them to the auction. We cannot ship using buyer's shipping accounts.

If you have questions as to the PC's specifications and/or what's included in the auction, feel free drop me an eBay message. My PCs are well packed, fully insured, and ship via ground service with tracking info always provided so you know when your PC is going to arrive. I often require a signature for residential deliveries (it protects both buyer and seller) - Please let me know if you WAIVE a signature. eBay/FedEx require a signature for any item over $500.00 delivered to residential (non-commercial) addresses, so I can't change that. International shipping via eBay's Global Shipping Program - I have nothing to do with those costs or terms of service. I do not accept returns as this is a vintage PC. However, I will be happy to work with you if you have issues. PC is otherwise, as the case with vintage electronics, sold as-is. My feedback speaks for itself. Configuration and trouble-shooting skill by the buyer are assumed. Bid with confidence - check my feedback! No one sells, repairs, or custom-builds to spec more reliable PCs than I do. Looking for a particular configuration? I custom-build and refurbish DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98 and XP PCs. Just drop me a note and let's discuss your needs. Good luck and happy bidding!
