Back in 2005, this was the ultimate status symbol. The Dell XPS M170 cost over $4,500 and featured the massive Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX. Today, I'm starting the restoration of this retro gaming beast.

CPU: Intel Pentium M 770
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX
RAM: 2GB DDR2
OS: Nothing yet but i will install Windows XP Media Center Edition in part 3
