Packard Bell's are actually pretty good computers.  The one thing that 
you need to watch out for when buying a Packard Bell (or any computer in 
general) is to make sure that the price of the computer includes the 
monitor, or at least factor that into the price of the computer.  I know 
that Packard Bell did not include monitor's in their prices a few years 
ago, but sold them as an add-on.  Many companies do this now.  Also, the 
Packard Bell technical support staff tends to be VERY bad.  Packard Bells 
are good computers, as long as you don't need any help with them...  
that's my two cents anyway.
