I'm going back to the 90's where it's safe. . .

They claimed a remote control was an industry first in '95? When the Macintosh TV came out 2 years earlier? Um....

As a fan of Nostalgia Mall and LGR, this video made my day when it came out.

I really want someone to build a sleeper PC in this case

I once had a computer store guy tell me CD drives will never make it past 4x because they can't build a better motor then that. His store didn't last long.

*Nobody:* *Me:* WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT TF UP HE'S LISTING CAPACITOR SERIAL NUMBERS

I need to see a speed run attempt of Doom on the remote.

It's ergonomic, since your arms dont piston out directly in front of you, they come swinging in from the side lol

I had this exact computer. It was so dope

this is high tech these days too. so nothing new since the 90'

Holy crap! My mom bought our first PC in 1995 (an PB Legend of some sort) and I played the crap out of the Spider-Man Cartoon Maker! No one I’ve talked to since has ever heard of it. Ah, the nostalgia...

BTC keyboards are great I think, in terms of rubber dome, they are the best in that realm. Did most of my writing career on BTC keyboards, I still own 2 that I use to this day.

I've almost all but forgotten the days when there was all kinds of ports on the back of pc's. Thank goodness for USB.

I remember Midi Orchestator!

Nerdgasm hearing the sound of Windows starting up

4:13 I don't care what you say, that is clearly the bacon button.

OMG I remember seeing these things as a kid!

7:47 Ahh Audio Technica Headphones, a man of taste.

More .midi music please...

I could never make progress in that ski game; a snowman would come out and eat me every time.

I always liked the idea for small and compact machines, i feel like this is a precourser to a lot of the modern small and weird chinese cases that kinda have a twist on it's design to usually cut cost. haha So cool.

power and reset on opposite sides confirms this is a gimimck

The remote would’ve been perfect to pull prank on your siblings during their _“PC turn”._

One thing I really love about Clint is how he's so enthusiastic about the sheer/raw cheesiness of '90s design choices, especially for user interfaces, because that's literally me. I mean, look at this Packard Bell Nav thing: it's like basing your user interface aesthetics on a visit you took to your grandparents' house. And that's EXACTLY what I love about it, plus the cluelessness of designers back in the day.

It is weird how much I enjoy these videos. It is like chicken soup for my soul.

I remember seeing these in thrift stores in the mid 2000's. My parents often bought them for me and parts. Cheap as heck, then. My cheap education in computer repair and modification. Led to me to college and is a useful skill :3

I prefer the Quantum Fireball. The perpetually flushing toilet sound.

Damn how cool computers used to look I wish that products now would be unique but sadly that is not the case.

Thats ingenious

Years ago we used these to stage houses. Had about 5 of them. Had corner tv's too

Omg that startup sounds take me right back.. All the beep boop and crunching!

I had one of these growing up.

Its a shame it doesn’t have a standard atx build so you got put a new motherboard into it and turn it into a retro sleeper

I love it

I used to sell these, they were garbage, often crashing during a customer demo.

That is so majestic

I remember my local college having dozens of these in 95 for a good while after. They had them in the computer library back when going to the library/college to use the internet was a family evening out. A few years later, these were packed into computer labs for beginners computer courses.

I had one of these.. 100Mhz cpu and 1gb HD. But mine didn't come with any remote.

Looks a bit like the Thermaltake Core p90 was a little inspired by that .. not much, but a tiny bit. Well, possibly not, but who knows .. maybe an engineer had this old case in mind when he suggested the similar 90 degrees angled design for the wallmount.

It's interesting seeing one of Roadgeek's (The Nostalgia Mall's) computer's on your channel.

Stretch my chocolate starfish wide open until you can see the inside of my colon all the way through.

That HHD noise. The boot up jingle. The nostalgia.

I see nothing strange about it. It's a useful design.

Im surprised that its decently quick for being that old lol

Every mid-90’s computer manufacturer: “Our computers come with this office suite and that antivirus and this web browser and much more, all to prevent you from doing anything useful with them.”

I LOVED this vid buddy

I still have that remote somewhere. I used a plugin for winamp to allow me to use the remote with it. worked awesome for that.

29:42 that is Michael MJD's melody

is it stackable?

where do i buy this "get voodoo" poster?

I worked for Packard Bell in R&D in 1995. There where many stupid decisions made by marketing where they never consulted us first. Like the Pizza cabinet , and weird color palette snap on wavy trim pieces.

Release a case like that now people will be salivating over it and then ruin it with an obnoxious amount of lights inside.

I had a very similar model in my childhood. Similar look but a more traditional case, 133Mhz pentium and 16mb of ram.

Damn look at all the pci expansion cards! Now days if you build a pc with something like an Athlon 3000, or hell something with integrated intel graphics you won't need any expansion cards for graphics, sound or internet!?!?

Ah the 90's, when people got so confused with anything that wasn't a perfect square that they called it a Triangle.

i finally admit that the LGR dude has a great narraiion, even if he's just reading prepared text. I could hire him to read me some fairy tale before sleep in my childhood

I want to have it one too ^_^

I feel like the older computers like these had a longer life expectancy at least when I was using 'em. Maybe due to the extra hardware. But they always seem to work very well, just unbelievably outdated with everything.

i love that lamp lol great vid clint ! love watching youre stuff :)

I happen to like the design, yes reminds me of my childhood in the 90s. My friend had a Packard bell, we had a Apple Classic followed by a no-name brand for Windows 95 and beyond era.

That pc looks so interesting and odd

Somewhat corny I'd say... 🤷‍♂️

I have vague memories from my childhood of my dad having this. At least the whole shape is triggering memories. I think it was his work computer back in the day

Defusing the bomb in journey man as a kid made me sweat so bad XD

This is so ridiculously 90s. We had a Packard Bell in the 90s but not this gem.

Had a Packard-Bell PC I bought new in the fall of 1995, but it wasn't a corner machine. It was complete junk, though. Sometimes in Windows 95 the monitor screen would turn into shades of turquoise green and would have to reboot it frequently to get rid of that green tinge. MS-DOS mode was really good for my WordPerfect for DOS 6.2, back when I was doing medical transcription. MS-DOS mode *never* crashed.

This *immediately* looking extremely uncomfortable to use. Either you sit at a 45 degree angle to the desk or you spend the whole time you're on it with your head twisted to the side.

That design looks EPIC on an L-shaped desk

Get Voodoo !

It's amazing how far computers have come. I remember when all this tech was amazing.

Before the comments start, it's still amazing...just nostalgically amazing now.

I remember these!

I get what they were going for back when this came out there were alot of computer desks designed to fit into corners so i guess some one at packard bell thought this was a sure thing. Also LOL @ hanging vampire repellent.

Lgr: *plays the wave table audio galaxy.* Me: "and here presenting the 18:00 news is Lenard burner."

I was 11 years old and this was the first pc my parents brought that had windows on it, many fond memories of playing sim City 2000, the sims and i had forgotten about the spiderman animator that was ace. The remote came in handy when teaching friends to use the computer and if I remember it had an eject cdrom button that was the best button of all.

Hope you were careful with it as Billy loves that PC cant believe he actually lent it to anyone

Oh man. Packard Bell Navigator and Journeyman Project Turbo. That's my jam, son.

n

that Windows 95 sound effect was so pleasing i swear

Like si vienes por tomex

Reliving my childhood through this. 👍🏽 thank you

I think the journeyman project was the game I never remembered the name, thanks man.

Hello sir I am one of your fans from Taiwan. I got a problem want to ask you. Why windows 2000 Professional not working in SATA mod. Once I turn on my computer running windows 2000 starting logo. After that Keep on blue screen. The error show me that 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error. I really don’t have the ideas to solve the problem......

I worked for Bell Telephone from 1969 to 2004. Went through the entire computer beginning age (I mean where one might actually do some damn thing with 'em as a regular person). Had absolutely no training. They just started showing up in the field and basically we just pushed buttons and wiggled the mouse until something happened that looked like something I recognized. Seriously. Of course as time went on we got better and figured it out. To what extent we could. Now my wife and I scream at our phones for not doing whatever. LOL! Just a few thoughts about computers.

My Grandma had one of these back in the day. I remember going round hers playing solitaire and pool on it. She had a computer before me.

When he removed the middle piece that def caught me off guard lol

I have a laptop & I love to show you! I hope you see this comment! (Real name here) it's my dads & my floppy drive is not working? So help me?

Man finally something ive seen in real life! My school had these!

That would look great in the corner of the oval office 🙄

Don't want it or one like it but do appreciate it is different and cool!

Clint really painted himself into a corner this time

27:53 Is that an "Oof" I hear?

This looks like something you would buy in The Sims.

Clint never cuts corners

Just had a Hewlett Packard add. How appropriate.

I remember these computer from the stores, quite an interesting idea of design :) never knew anyone who had this at home at least here in Luxembourg

A remote eject button... I've seen this on recent disc based products too and just dont get it outside the remotest of uses

It's hard to believe you can fit the computing power of 200 of these computers in a smartphone today.

Its sounds painful like teeth grinding :( lol

I honestly like it set up in the middle of a desk with the point against the all

Thank you for this time travel
