Has anyone used any Packard Bell computer? How did you like it? How reliable was it? Would you buy another Packard Bell? The aparently best price/performance trade-off in my benchmark results is the Packard Bell Force 386/33 (see "386 Boxes - extensive Benchmark results", posted to comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware). Would I be making a mistake in buying it? One salesman said "we get more Packard Bells back for service than any other make." - at a store selling them. At another store selling them they said they worked well with no problems. One (of 2) could not read my 3.5" diskette, but worked fine on my 5.25" diskette. If I had no doubts about its reliability, it would be a clear winner (large case, >200 W power supply, lots of expansion slots, lots of drive bays, good price, excellent performance).
