Listing an excellent condition DELL OptiPlex 170L MT: Intel Pentium 4 with 512MB Ram, 80GB VelociRaptor SATA HD, vintage gaming desktop running Windows 98SE with all updates installed, OS has been preinstalled using a Microsoft Preinstall Kit - it's basically as close as you can get to how Dell would have set it up at the factory and purchased directly from Dell back in the mid-90's PLUS! all of the available updates installed. Unit is 100% ready to go out of the box and would be perfect for vintage gaming and running legacy software.
This is the only DELL OptiPlex 170L MT running Microsoft® Windows® 98 Second Edition you'll find on eBay on a SATA drive, this computer was originally designed to run Microsoft® Windows® XP Home / Professional but has Windows 98SE installed successfully with no driver conflicts, missing drivers or compatibility issues (see attached device manager photos)
Windows 98 Splash Screen has been updated to reflect the "Distributed by: Dell" Microsoft" logo
Unit will work with USB 2.0 thumb drives, for easy transfer of software from newer systems. Please remove USB drives when restarting computer.

MS-DOS mode has optical drivers loaded. Unit can be booted to a standard DOS prompt for low-level software or gaming & can also be shutdown to MS-DOS mode
This system was carefully tested and all devices, device drivers, etc are loaded correctly with no device conflicts. (see "Device Properties" image) Being as this system is over 20 years old, this is a final sale. I am not responsible for technical support beyond getting the system up and running. If you are working with vintage systems, some troubleshooting experience, a good working knowledge of MS-DOS 6.22 / Windows 95, 98, 98SE is expected on your part.
