If you're looking to use a 500 series without a monitor, you may also want to consider the 580, which uses IDE drives instead of the less common, pricier SCSI. The monitor on the 580 is a shadow mask display, not a Trinitron, and is generally considered to be inferior to the older 575's display. (The 580 was the "cost-cutting" model of the 500 series released late in the cycle as a lower-priced alternative to not only the 575, but also the 5200).
