the 166MMX version of this was the first brand new computer I ever bought , $1300 with 17" Pac bell Monitor. I ran this as a daily use from 1995-2003, put a 233 into it , maxed the ram out , changed out the sound card, added a 3dfx card, NIC, 8X CD burner,over all the years I had it. cool find
My first computer I purchased from Sears. It was the last Packard Bell with Windows 95 they had. I wish I could remember the model. It was a good computer and I wish I had that back myself. Kudos to you Roadgeek for making this compelling video.
I don't care how outdated they are, the Packard Bell legend to me is still my ultimate preference. I hope they dome back to the US with an updated version of Navigator, flat screen but with the speakers on both sides and a similar shaped monitor. The they have to add the cool ripples on both sides of the tower unless it's a single all in one unit then they have to round the back.
I'm from Chile and I was so happy watching this video! This was my first PC and all the things you said were a trip to my childhood. Packard Bell Navigator (In Spanish here, of course) was so awesome at the time. I loved the design. Even those speakers, were in fact quite good for PC standards, I played the Midi that came with the computer many times and then I discovered I loved classical music, hahaha... Awesome video. I'll keep trying to find what was my first PC, maybe someday I'll get mine!
+Esteban Cuevas I had that exact monitor thru my first 2 Packard Bell PCs and i do have to agree on the speakers overall sound quality. The bass was boomy to my ears but very well controlled, the mids were very detailed and the highs were very crisp and clear. they had a very good overall sound quality to them that i would just LOVE t ofind a pair of jsut the speakers in perfect working order so i could plu gem into my lemovo tower from time to time and just listen to music thru them cuse i love how they souded. I bet even electronic music (the genre of music I mainly listen to) would sound really good thru them. but i dont think they would hold a candle to my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1s however but they sure as hell would take me down PC memory lane for sure.
I am happy to witness the reunion between you and your beloved computer. Your intro set the mood and It was a heartfelt moment to hear the sentiments of genuine excitement from your voice when you first pulled the the computer from out of the box. Cheers to you buddy !!!!!! "reunited and it feels so goooooood"
My first computer was the Packard Bell Legend 70CD Supreme that I bought at Sears in August of 1995. It came with a Pentium 75MHz processor, 8MB of memory, a 1GB HD, and a 14.4kb/s modem for $1800. I stayed up all night browsing the included Encarta CD encyclopedia.
My very first computer was a commodore 64 / with hard drive . I tried to do a business spread sheet on it but it couldn't handle the size of all the cells needed. I then graduated to and Intel XT 8088 with 512K of RAM 10 GB Hard drive Running DOS 3.2 it finally did do the spreadsheet using Lotus 123. I have been at computers a very long time and work as a consultant for software and hardware for small businesses. I have repaired many a Packard Bell in my day they were solid built machines
We had two Packard-Bell computers from Sears in the late '80s(?) and very early '90s. Our first computer was a Franklin and we became adept at floppy-disk sleight-of-hand changes. Fond memories of that era. This video has made me feel very nostalgic.
I can understand how you feel. My first computer was an AST Advantage Adventure 6066D. 4MB of ram, 500MB hard drive, 77MHz Cyrix 486 processor and Windows 3.1 installed. I really hope someday I can get one again.
Hi! I have the same PC! Where can I found this restoration package? And... I have the control remote too, but never I can make it work... have an idea? Greetings!
i have been looking for my original micron millennia rs2110 for 8 years now. and we got it 13 years ago! im in your same exact situation. it is a rare model, a rare company. i found the rs2100 on ebay, god darnit it just has to be 10 away from the actual model. i will find it someday :)
This is making me so nostalgic -- I can understand your getting emotional. I did too over finding the same Packard Bell I owned back as a kid. It's what made me love computers. Did you happen to get a copy of the Journeyman Project with yours? It was my absolute favourite game and I always played it on mine, along with Earthsiege II.
I remember my childhood computer the dell dimension l1000r I still have it 100% original it runs Windows me I understand why your so happy with it some people just don't understand
I just got a Packard Bell Platinum. I wish I had the original monitor and such for it but I was lucky to get it. It's been upgraded a lot but I will be putting a video on my channel. Just scored an IBM from 1993 as well that I really like.
This is awesome...that was my first windows PC, back in 1996-ish. PB Pentium 133mhz...from Sears ROFL :D Great pre-loaded games like Journeyman Project and that Spider Man Cartoon-Maker, with that bitch saying "Help me, Help!" over and over. I miss those days!
I'll also be honest, for being a game in 1992 when DOS was still prevalent, those cartoony graphics really stood out in their time. Living Books really was a pioneer with kids games in the 90s. And that's not just ANY man voicing Grandma, that's none other than the founder of Living Books. For more trivia, his son played Little Critter. That always bugged me when I was young when they just made the "3D" a selling point and nothing else. Heck, movies cash in on that these days...
this is awesome! my parents had a packered bell computer given to them by my sisters boyfriend around 1995 also. He installed Windows 95 on it and i used to played Doom II on it. i was 7 or so. good memories.
O_O The screen and...and the microphone! They were packed with the first home computer my family and i had...nostalgic...my mother said that when i use the computer, it's like i'm in another world...=)
I still have the desk my very first computer's monitor, speaker, mouse, mousepad standed on. The computer standed next to it. (Sorry for bad grammar) I just looked at a picture of me using the computer. I felt nostalgic. I can see most of the tower of the computer. I just can't tell if it was a multimedia or a legend. I miss my very first computer. I've always been trying to think which model it was.
Holy crap. I thought this would never happen. ...BILLY COORE'S SEARCH FOR THE SO-RARE-IT'S-NEARLY-MYTHICAL PACKARD BELL LEGEND 822CDT(W) HAS BEEN COMPLETED? Congratulations, bud. I'm glad the day has finally come.
"If it's enough to give you nostalgia, it's okay to me." Words to live by. Screw you movie critics, I'll enjoy my awful nostalgic movies as much as I want! You should have chosen "roadgeek" for the high score name XD "My entire life, I have always liked dry cereal" Join the club, man. It's really awesome you finally obtained the holy grail of your childhood. You have in turn made me a vintage computer hobbyist as a result, and I have loved it. Wish you luck in the future! :D
That machine likely had Windows 95, the format number would confirm that. MS OEM licensing would see to that as well. That machine had to have been opened at one time to replace the CD-ROM and add memory. Service centers did have foil stickers to replace the QA seal when broken. Oh, and in its final days, my Force 1999CDTW did run Windows 2000. If you find one of those, I'd be very surprised! I think I may have serviced one of those all-in-one units in the past.
My computer back in the late 1990s was a Dell Optiplex running Windows 95 Plus edition OSR2.5 Then in 1999 I upgraded it to Windows 98 and installed Microsoft Plus for kids because my friends mother had a toddler that often came over. I still have it today, and I have some internet still on it because I installed the last service pack for it.
I was born in December '95, and my first PC was a Packard Bell. I really wish I remembered what model it was, though. I just remember that it was a fairly large tower. Does anyone have any ideas as to what model it would be? I would love to have it again.
Did the OEM Windows 95 CD that came with these Packard Bell computers form the factory include Microsoft Hover and the video clips like the video of Weezer's Buddy Holly? What make and model of sound card was originally shipped with this computer? Was it a genuine Creative SoundBlaster card or a 100% compatible card? I believe you said something about the sound/model card.
My First Computer was an Custom-Built-Computer running Windows ME. Then, in 2002 It got replaced by 2002 Custom-Built-Computer running Windows ME. But, in 2005 It got Windows XP installed.
This is so cool to look at. It's truly like you just bought this computer new in 1995, and you're getting the same joy you once had. That alone makes up for the "worst decision" you made in 2000. Yeah, about Living Books...you should probably know they date back to 1992, before Windows 3.1 even existed. In fact, they were developed on MACS, which is why they run in that weird resolution! (512 x 384, to be exact)
Billy, Im just so happy for you, I was beaming so much when the music started playing and saw you getting it out. But congrates im glad ur wish came true!
This reminds me when I was 3, I had my very first computer. A Packard Bell with Windows 98 First Edition Preinstalled. Oh, I wish I knew the model number. As of my age right now, I've never felt so nostalgic is my life about my old computers I used to have. I miss the Packard Bell Windows 98 machine and the Dell Dimension with Windows XP the most. I don't care if this stuff is out of date. Even some people in my family like my sisters and brother make fun of me because I like older machines. I don't care about what they think. I WANT THE OLD TIMES BACK!!! :,(
wow that's cool.. I had an IBM Aptiva back in the day, which was my first computer, then I switched to mac a few years later. I still love the games I played back then on win95 and 98
That's great that you got that computer. If only I could find the receipt to my old computer. On an unrelated subject, how many volts do the Packard Bell speakers take? I have a pair running on on 12V. Anyway, cool.
Damn! You got a Windows 95 Packard Bell master restore CD? Packard Bell was my first IBM Compatible Computer. Before that I had a Commodore 64, And I remember when I first used the Packard Bell how I was blown away. The graphics were lifelike, the audio actually had the ability to talk, I had a 401CD with WFW3.11, and the game MegaRace with the cutaways just blew me away. I am glad you got your childhood PB, I hope to one day find another 401CD, my original one died and ended up pitching it way back in the day. Now I have 3 Pentium-Era Packard Bells that I love and cherish. Btw, any chance of maybe getting an ISO of your Master CD? ;)
You know with the "Toy story" background which is so Disney and Pixar and with that I can imagine having a "Wreck it Ralph" or "Monsters University" (Which is the new pixar film.) background on Windows 8.
i have been searching for a micronpc millennia rs1100 since 2009. i have not found any forum post, ebay link, not even that model on the micronpc driver page. it was my first desktop computer.
this legendary...heh, legend legendary, i just did something there :P. anyway, this legend got you all started. for me that was the Apple Macintosh Performa 6400/180. i'll never forget that computer, ever, and i know you'll never forget this one, cause it's right there! congratulations, sir, and a warm warm welcome home to your technological childhood!
Really enjoyed seeing this, and I am so happy for you! I am still looking for mine: Multimedia M400. My Multimedia D160 will have to suffice until then.
haha that's so cool! I still have my original HP Vectra VL 6/400 which is a computer I used a lot in my childhood, but it's pretty beat up. I recently bought an IBM 750 P90 which is the first computer I owned. Actually I have 3 IBM 750 P90 but one is dead, one is broken and one is just the motherboard so I decided to buy a new one in perfect condition. So the only computer from my childhood that I'm missing is a Olivetti something.. From my memory I think it was an Olivetti M386/25 or M286... The only thing from that computer that I still have today is a broken conner hard drive, a broken 3 1/2 floppy drive, a 5 1/4 floppy drive, a keyboard and a part of the case which sadly doesn't say anything about the model of the computer...
How many Packard Bells do you have? I also just realized that I've been in the mood to collect a couple for myself. I found one on Kijiji...We'll see how that goes.
my first computer was a 386 with windows 3.1. It was one of those off brand deals you could get at local computer stores back in the early 90s. I played games like math rescue and some crayola drawing games and some music games. My sister got the computer when we got a new computer in 1998. I wanted it but didn't end up getting in until 2002. But it sort of died on the way over to my room. I did manage to get it running again but after a month weird things started happening like the cd drive disappeared then eventually dos wouldn't boot then we got rid of it. I didn't really care what came of it at the time because I was given a brand new computer with an athlon xp processor and xp and I was too excited to care. Now I wish I had stored it somewhere and hung onto it because the knowledge I gained over the next few years would have allowed me to fix it
You accidentally had the dining room footage repeat. Before you re-upload this, just use the TH-cam video editor and take it out. You'll save yourself bandwidth and trouble doing so.

I have a Multimedia D135 coming from eBay, I'm thinking of replacing the motherboard so I can upgrade it to a 266MHz Pentium II or something.
What a legendary video, Billy. I'm glad that you got your old Packard Bell Computer back! Lol, I also like Dry Cereal by the way.

Same with my PC in the basement that runs Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. And it still works strong.

Congratulations mate! This is awesome! You have been blessed by far. :)
ok so why did this video touch my heart so much . I actuality got tears in my eyes
congrats dude for finding the literal legend from your childhood, i hope you will have a wonderful time with it once more for many years to come

did anyone notice that this clip played twice at 13:41? It plays again at 15:05.
Really like your channel, and especially this video. I can really feel your love for computing, keep going! :)
0:09 to 1:01 brought tears to my eyes.
I can understand how you feel. My first computer was an AST Advantage Adventure 6066D. 4MB of ram, 500MB hard drive, 77MHz Cyrix 486 processor and Windows 3.1 installed. I really hope someday I can get one again.
N359062600 is the serial number, and the manufacturing date is the 28th of September 1995.
Congrats on getting the 822CDT back! :D
Phoenix BIOS, interesting! The Packard Bells I've found on eBay all seemed to have the American Megatrends BIOS.
I'm looking to upgrade the motherboard so I can have a faster processor, but I don't know where I would find a motherboard that would fit the case.
Hi!
I have the same PC!
Where can I found this restoration package? And... I have the control remote too, but never I can make it work... have an idea?
Greetings!

OMG! Congratulations Billy!
I mean that's amazing after 13 years you finally get to see your childhood Packard Bell again.
Congratz! :)
Grandma and Me was one of our first games. Got it around the same time we got Police Quest 1 and Jones in the Fast Lane.
This is making me so nostalgic -- I can understand your getting emotional. I did too over finding the same Packard Bell I owned back as a kid. It's what made me love computers.

Your best video yet! Glad you finally got the Packard Bell Legend 822CDT! I've been waiting for this moment since June/July 2011!!!!!!!!
I'll also be honest, for being a game in 1992 when DOS was still prevalent, those cartoony graphics really stood out in their time. Living Books really was a pioneer with kids games in the 90s.
And that's not just ANY man voicing Grandma, that's none other than the founder of Living Books. For more trivia, his son played Little Critter.
That always bugged me when I was young when they just made the "3D" a selling point and nothing else. Heck, movies cash in on that these days...
Congrats! you have finally found your 822CDT!
I felt like that with my childhood portable cassette player it took years but I finally found it on ebay a few weeks ago. :)
Yes, 3D Ultra Pinball will run on Windows 3.1 just fine and no, it's keyboard/mouse only. And the speakers are powered by AC.
I used to have one of these bad boys. I still have the monitor, it still chugs along.
The first computer I ever played on was the Dell Dimension 2400. My first personal computer was the Compaq Presario CQ50-209WM.
I used to have a game similar to "Just Grandma and Me" called "Just me and my dad."
this is awesome! my parents had a packered bell computer given to them by my sisters boyfriend around 1995 also. He installed Windows 95 on it and i used to played Doom II on it. i was 7 or so. good memories.
O_O The screen and...and the microphone! They were packed with the first home computer my family and i had...nostalgic...my mother said that when i use the computer, it's like i'm in another world...=)
I still have the desk my very first computer's monitor, speaker, mouse, mousepad standed on. The computer standed next to it. (Sorry for bad grammar) I just looked at a picture of me using the computer. I felt nostalgic. I can see most of the tower of the computer. I just can't tell if it was a multimedia or a legend. I miss my very first computer. I've always been trying to think which model it was.
oh my, my first PC was a Pentium 133 PC... I'm glad I still have it :)!
Holy crap. I thought this would never happen.
...BILLY COORE'S SEARCH FOR THE SO-RARE-IT'S-NEARLY-MYTHICAL PACKARD BELL LEGEND 822CDT(W) HAS BEEN COMPLETED?
Congratulations, bud. I'm glad the day has finally come.
Sierra's opening screen is so epic.
"If it's enough to give you nostalgia, it's okay to me." Words to live by. Screw you movie critics, I'll enjoy my awful nostalgic movies as much as I want!
You should have chosen "roadgeek" for the high score name XD
"My entire life, I have always liked dry cereal" Join the club, man.
It's really awesome you finally obtained the holy grail of your childhood. You have in turn made me a vintage computer hobbyist as a result, and I have loved it. Wish you luck in the future! :D
That music at 8:00 made it sound like a Disney movie.
That machine likely had Windows 95, the format number would confirm that. MS OEM licensing would see to that as well. That machine had to have been opened at one time to replace the CD-ROM and add memory. Service centers did have foil stickers to replace the QA seal when broken. Oh, and in its final days, my Force 1999CDTW did run Windows 2000. If you find one of those, I'd be very surprised!
I think I may have serviced one of those all-in-one units in the past.
Holy crap, I remember Just Grandma and Me!
Great Billy glad your dreams came true, the clip of the dining room repeats though
My computer back in the late 1990s was a Dell Optiplex running Windows 95 Plus edition OSR2.5
Then in 1999 I upgraded it to Windows 98 and installed Microsoft Plus for kids because my friends mother had a toddler that often came over. I still have it today, and I have some internet still on it because I installed the last service pack for it.
I was born in December '95, and my first PC was a Packard Bell. I really wish I remembered what model it was, though. I just remember that it was a fairly large tower. Does anyone have any ideas as to what model it would be? I would love to have it again.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Good things always happen to people!!
Watching this makes me sad and want to find mine :(
Did the OEM Windows 95 CD that came with these Packard Bell computers form the factory include Microsoft Hover and the video clips like the video of Weezer's Buddy Holly? What make and model of sound card was originally shipped with this computer? Was it a genuine Creative SoundBlaster card or a 100% compatible card? I believe you said something about the sound/model card.
My First Computer was an Custom-Built-Computer running Windows ME. Then, in 2002 It got replaced by 2002 Custom-Built-Computer running Windows ME. But, in 2005 It got Windows XP installed.
This is so cool to look at. It's truly like you just bought this computer new in 1995, and you're getting the same joy you once had. That alone makes up for the "worst decision" you made in 2000.
Yeah, about Living Books...you should probably know they date back to 1992, before Windows 3.1 even existed. In fact, they were developed on MACS, which is why they run in that weird resolution! (512 x 384, to be exact)
This was my favorite computer growing up. Came with Spider-man Cartoon maker and Journey man project turbo! loved playing all my dos games on it.
But yeah, I'm glad you got your computer back! :) Have fun and thanks for the video.
Dude if you somehow found a Packard Bell Spectria all-in-one that'd be sweet!
Congrats man! You found the illusive 822cdt back!
OH MY GOD !! You finally got one !! Congrats, Billy !!
But how could you let it fall off your desk ? :(
I understand your joy wholeheartedly..im happy for you.
PS I have never seen someone this happy on youtube
Woah! Sep. 28 (the manufacture date) is my brother's b-day!
Billy, Im just so happy for you, I was beaming so much when the music started playing and saw you getting it out. But congrates im glad ur wish came true!
I can imagine a Wreck it Ralph background on Windows 8 too

Nice! You finally have, CONGRATS!! Please enjoy it which I know you are.
i have been searching for a micronpc millennia rs1100 since 2009. i have not found any forum post, ebay link, not even that model on the micronpc driver page. it was my first desktop computer.
Holy crap dude! I'm so happy for you!
My first was a Dell Dimension 124243 and I FINALLY got it back and its actually running opn windows 7
Wow. Glad you finally found it. Our first family computer was a Tandy 1000 SX.
OMG this was my first computer! Man I miss MegaRace. Mine came with a Pentium 66, 8MB RAM, 850MB HDD, and Windows 3.11.
this legendary...heh, legend legendary, i just did something there :P. anyway, this legend got you all started. for me that was the Apple Macintosh Performa 6400/180. i'll never forget that computer, ever, and i know you'll never forget this one, cause it's right there! congratulations, sir, and a warm warm welcome home to your technological childhood!
My first PC was a Dell, but I can't remeber the exact model.
Really enjoyed seeing this, and I am so happy for you! I am still looking for mine: Multimedia M400. My Multimedia D160 will have to suffice until then.
Very awesome that you got it back. Congrats man!
This video reminds me of my first computer, a Dell dimension 2800 running windows xp.
haha that's so cool! I still have my original HP Vectra VL 6/400 which is a computer I used a lot in my childhood, but it's pretty beat up. I recently bought an IBM 750 P90 which is the first computer I owned. Actually I have 3 IBM 750 P90 but one is dead, one is broken and one is just the motherboard so I decided to buy a new one in perfect condition. So the only computer from my childhood that I'm missing is a Olivetti something.. From my memory I think it was an Olivetti M386/25 or M286... The only thing from that computer that I still have today is a broken conner hard drive, a broken 3 1/2 floppy drive, a 5 1/4 floppy drive, a keyboard and a part of the case which sadly doesn't say anything about the model of the computer...
i grew up with a hp pc windows xp goodbye xp so long old friend
This is the best TH-cam video ever, I am so glad that you finally one
Christ it freaking crushed that power supply
How many Packard Bells do you have? I also just realized that I've been in the mood to collect a couple for myself. I found one on Kijiji...We'll see how that goes.
Congratulations!!
Theres currently a packard bell CORNER COMPUTER for sale on ebay right now! It's rather expensive though,,,,
my first computer was a eMacines thing with a 444mHz celeron CPU 16MB RAM and windows 98
this remind me of my first windows 98 it tuck me 4 years!
my first computer was a 386 with windows 3.1. It was one of those off brand deals you could get at local computer stores back in the early 90s. I played games like math rescue and some crayola drawing games and some music games. My sister got the computer when we got a new computer in 1998. I wanted it but didn't end up getting in until 2002. But it sort of died on the way over to my room. I did manage to get it running again but after a month weird things started happening like the cd drive disappeared then eventually dos wouldn't boot then we got rid of it. I didn't really care what came of it at the time because I was given a brand new computer with an athlon xp processor and xp and I was too excited to care. Now I wish I had stored it somewhere and hung onto it because the knowledge I gained over the next few years would have allowed me to fix it
when i was a kid about 5 or 6 i used a dell dimetion 36-- or 56000 and i still have it
YOU FINALLY FREAKING GOT ONE!!!!!!!! Congrats! Is your life complete?
