PACKARD BELL! This one is an Axcel 110SX, Model PB300. What does that mean? No one can say, Packard Bell model numbers are intentionally nonsense.

we can see from the back that it's got no modem, and no sound card. Probably the standard 486 board they used in several other computers

the CMOS battery has died, but if we assume it still is showing the right amount of RAM, this screenshot of the BIOS probably? means it has 2mb of ram in total. Kinda low for a Packard Bell 486... maybe this is a 386?

and the ebay seller confuses things even more by saying the processor is a "ACC Micro 2036" I'm not exactly sure what that IS, but it's definitely not the CPU.

anyway it's on ebay, for a pretty high price for a harddriveless packard bell of mostly unknown specifications, no hard drive, and possible CMOS battery damage. ebay.com/itm/1949717048

these computers didn't work terribly well when new, 32 years of sitting in a closet have probably not improved its condition

I bought a 386 from good will for 5 dollars. I played Hocus Pocus on it.
