This is an original Packard Bell Axcel 2420 from 1995 that I obtained in a recent salvage yard "treasure" search.

Packard Bell, once one of the most prolific computer manufacturers in the world, had a habit of naming these various models differently depending on where they were sold.

This Axcel 2420 was also known as the Legend 410CD.

I open the case for the first time in the video and see if it boots.

The plan is to try to add in a period-specific PCI video card and possibly upgrade the CPU for some game play and benchmarking in future videos.
