IBM Aptiva 2162 S9C Vintage Desktop Computer – Windows 95 OSR2 Factory Restore – Original Hardware – IBM Restore CD Included!

Step back into the late 1990s with this IBM Aptiva 2162 S9C desktop PC! Whether you\'re looking to relive childhood memories, build an authentic retro gaming setup, or add a classic IBM system to your collection, this Aptiva delivers the genuine experience that emulators simply can\'t replicate.

This system retains all of its original IBM hardware, with only one carefully chosen upgrade: a Realtek RTL8139C PCI network card has been installed to provide easy Ethernet connectivity for transferring files, accessing your home network, or connecting to retro LAN gaming setups. Otherwise, the computer remains in its original hardware configuration.

Unlike many vintage computers that have been reformatted or loaded with generic operating systems, this Aptiva has been restored using the original IBM factory image of Windows 95 OSR2. It boots exactly as it would have when it left the factory, complete with the original IBM drivers, bundled software, utilities, wallpapers, and setup experience. It\'s as close as you can get to opening a brand-new IBM Aptiva in the late \'90s.

As an added bonus, the original IBM OEM Restore CD is included with the sale, allowing you to restore the factory software in the future if desired.

Important Note – Power On / Media Console

Please note that this system does not include the IBM Aptiva Media Console. Because of this, the computer is powered on manually by pressing the power button located on the internal power control card inside the chassis. This button is clearly circled in one of the listing photos for reference. Once powered on, the system operates normally!
