Factory sealed. Everyone around me thinks this is thus far the dumbest purchase towards my retro collection and I have to agree. Still, had to have one.

I've built my dream Windows Vista PC

I finally have the PC I wish I had back in 2008. On those days, I've had a Positivo PCTV V140SL, which although had the same case, it had far lower specs, like a Pentium Dual Core E2140, 1GB of RAM, GMA950 and Vista Home Basic.

I dreamed of having a PC with Vista Ultimate and dedicated graphics, so I could've played GTA IV just like i've seen on Ultra Ben Buja's "Bloopers, Glitches & Silly Stuff" series of videos.

My original Positivo is long gone, but I still have its original documentation and restore DVD.

This PC now has a Core 2 Duo E8400, 4GB of RAM, GTX 550 Ti, 480GB SSD and a genuine Windows Vista Ultimate.

This brings so much joy.

I got this for free from my friend. Finding old BC driver was a pain because the CPU doesn't support 64-bit but I finally managed to get everything working

I combined the main colors and theme of Windows Vista and the transparent taskbar of Windows 7 and I wish we could have a version of windows which looked like this.

As you know Windows Vista was almost 20 years ahead of its time and I'm still stunned and wanna know how was the wallpaper created? The auroras and this feather like shapes, I mean by what software? Is it 3d? Or is it made by 2d designing apps like Photoshop and illustrator?

Been building a 2008 rig running Vista, similar to what I had as a kid. Even had the same wallpaper. 😅 It's on an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 and Radeon HD 3850 atm. Planning to get a Logitech MX518 and G15 to complete the desk.
