Alienware HTPC (DHS 5)

I paid a small fortune (~$3k)for the baby approximately 3 years ago (purchased in Dec 2004). I ordered it directly from Alienware, and I am the one and only owner if this HTPC. It is in excellent/great condition and has a few upgrades that I have installed myself making it an even better machine. This was used in my Home Theater as a video/music/movie box primarily...I also used it to surf the web on my projection screen from time to time as well.

You wouldn't necessarily have to use this in a TV/Home Theater environment, but the case itself is huge...so it definitely works best in those arenas for sure.

Note: One screw on the case cover is stripped, but the case cover easily comes off and the other 3 case screws go in/out without any issues. Case is sealed air-tight, even with the 1 stripped screw.

Specs:

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (comes w/ original Alienware Windows XP Media Center 2005 discs (image) and I am including the Windows Vista Premium upgrade CD (retail bx) as well.

Software: In addition to the Windows Vista Premium upgrade disc (retail box), I'll also be including all of the following software:

Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 (Home Use Program): includes; Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher, & InfoPath.

I have all the driver/install CD's for the hardware equipment installed as well (Sound Card, Video Card, etc.) but you'll probably find that there are newer versions available on the web. I have reformatted the disk drives and re-installed a clean copy of Windows Vista Home Premium. It's just like brand new!!!
