So, I recently acquired a Packard Bell Legend 760 Supreme, because the form factor and board are very close to my original PC. This board is the PB410A, I had originally a PB420 in a Packard Bell Multi-Media. I'm well experienced with computer repair so I don't mind some work. I took some pictures along the way. I should have made a picture of the machine in one piece before, but I didn't originally intend to document it. So I thought you guys might be interested in this journey. I'm also looking for a Master CD and Master Diskette if anyone has it.
