And the dead bugs thing is true, I used to have a nice big computer case howling with over a dozen fans...I had to clean up dead bugs quite often. On the other hand I've found big fat dead cockroaches inside cramped IBM office PCs.]]>Jul 7th 2008 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/

Also it's Packard Bell I didn't know they still made commercial machines. The last Packard Bell I worked on was a Pentium.]]>Jul 7th 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/

So i can imagine this would be the same :)

I do wonder why we kept buying them lol]]>Jul 7th 2008 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/

My parents were perfectly happy with their Packard Bell, become retired now but still runs and looks as ugly as it did when they first bought it.]]>Jul 7th 2008 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/
Well until the last few years my parents would not really listen to me when it comes to buying a PC. So when the time came for a new PC they would always go to PC World (UK PC supermarket thing) and let the sales rep talk them into another Packard Bell LOL

Getting a new PC is exciting when your a young geek, but when the parents came home with another PB i just sighed xD

They weren't the cheap models either, i think all were bought at around £800 - £999 :) ]]>Jul 7th 2008 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/Jul 7th 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/Jul 7th 2008 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/Nope they are sound/modem/firewire/wifi cards, but atleast they are PCI now instead of ISA.]]>Jul 7th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/Jul 7th 2008 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/Jul 7th 2008 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/

a few months ago I was round a friends house and I saw his dad's new pc. It had a sticker saying 8500gt and the game Crysis lying next to it. I cried. I can just imagine it now "Sure, look it has nvidia dedicated graphics, so it can play all modern games!!". Hate PC world/Dixons/Curry's . They are all one company and it has a stranglehold on the UK high street PC market.]]>Jul 7th 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/]]>Jul 7th 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/
They must be designing these things for teenagers and twentysomethings, because I don't know of any 35+ adult that would go near them.

Ah, well. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. But, right now, my eyes are bleeding.]]>Jul 7th 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/Jul 7th 2008 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/packard-bell-reveals-gargantuan-ipower-x2-0-gaming-desktop/Jul 7th 2008 3:54PM
