Before I started building computers years ago, I owned a packard bell. Keep in mind, we are talking 98 or something. Worst computer I've ever owned. At seperate times, all these things failed on it: mobo, power supply, cpu (seriously, no lie) and a drive.
Whether or not their quality has improved in 10 years, i cant say ;-).

The Samsung is a more dependable system. I have never had a packard bell system that lasted longer than the limited warranty. Samsung uses better components as well.
