I keep hearing rumors that Packard Bell is out of
business. As a tech I
can say I haven't seen any really new ones in a while. Never a PB PII or
K6-2 machine. Whats the deal? Thier website is up and makes no mention
of any trouble.
they were bought up by NEC IIRC. i did see some PB models a few months ago
when i did onsite warranty work. to their credit, the latest models were
standard ATX form factor machines, but still cheaply made.

not sure if anything new )P2 or 3( have been put out.
