I have a Packard Bell, and it''s a piece of shit. Packard Bell cuts corners
like crazy. 

The video card and motherboard are integrated, the monitor is so round that
if I look at it sideways I can't see the text at the corner of my screen.
It has a "Raiser" card for all the cards that probably has the same bus
speed as the ISA ports!!!

Their technical support just gives you the run around, their products don't
last beyond their warranty (unless you get really lucky).

Other than that their a pretty good company.
