This Packard Bell has been fully restored and upgraded. It's ready to use out of the box! A great turnkey solution for retro computing.
This is a DOS PC. Do not buy if you need a Windows PC. This hardware has very limited support for Windows 3.X and will be too slow to be useful for most Windows apps.
Great for running many 80s and early 90s DOS games. Will not run DOOM or Quake! Thos are way too new of games for a 386. Please contact me if you have a specific game/app in mind, and I will test it for you!
Free Game! Physical copy of Planet X3 by David Murray ("The 8-bit Guy"). David no longer sells physical copies of this game. This is a collector's item!
