While I have no used one for FreeBSD (A family member did have one which 
self-destructed on her) , because as a general rule, I avoid
Packard-bell.  
While PC's are almost a  commodity item, they are not entirely, 
and Packard-Bells seem be to cutting corners to make them the cheapest
on 
the market.  Even as I look to buy a new cheap box for my parents, I'm
looking for almost any other brand than them.

In short, you get what you pay for.
