I don't know about the LC630, but my Quadra 630 ROCKED!!!!!!!

The FPU/Full 040 just about matched the Radius Rocket in my IIx at work, but that had 32MB of on-board RAM. The video output to the 17" Trinitron was fine and with the TV-Tuner and AppleDesign Speakers it was all that I could ask for except a third serial port vs. Apple's standard 1.5 serial ports, but the addition of a 10bT card to the COMM Slot brought it up to a full 2 serial ports.

As for the IDE HDD, it was a Godsend, finally I could swap out the fast, but way too costly, undersized SCSI HDD in all my other Macs, with a HUGE Inexpensive Industry Standard HDD for the rugger's SuperPaint PlayStation/my "after the kid fell asleep" home workstation!

The height was a PERFECT fit and it took me about 90 sec. to figure out that cutting a hole in the rugger's desk overhang for airflow straight up instead of blowing into the cable mess out back was just about perfect.

All I've read about the every LC/road apple ever produced (with the notable exception of the 475) was that it didn't live up to the customer's expectation of having an unhindered Non-LC Mac.

You gets what you pays for! :o)
