Just got my (retro) dream rig

After a long search, with no avail… I almost gave up. Having a Satellite X205 from Toshiba (that I had as a kid back in 2008 also) I actually wanted to grab the Qosmio X300/305.
Very rare here.
The seller (elderly people) that sold me the X205, recently contacted me that they found more laptops in the closed down shop and if I was interested.
And interested I was, they had the holy godfather of thick boys in the Vista Era just sitting there.
125 euro’s later, I just got myself the best equipped Qosmio X305 available. Fully loaded with the double 9800 GTS Graphics cards, Core 2 Extreme quad core QX9300, 8gb of ram and the original SSD/HDD combo.
The hunt is for software, the factory install is in Spanish and so are the disks.
Anyone that knows where there is media for the X305 in ENG? Needs to be X64 also.
Picture is not my own, but is the machine I got. Picture was made by the seller, I just got home from a 4hr drive.

The top top end "mobile" gaming machines of pretty much any era are always hilarious to me.
SO thick and hot and unique.

RIP Toshiba. I used to dream of having a Qosmio or Alienware

Backup the recovery disks because there doesn't look to be any on archive org!
As for solving spanish issue, just upgrade it to win7 ultimate and install english language pack - this is what i literally just did with my toshiba libretto that had italian language
