My biggest problem with the things is that they're noisy because of the fan; furthermore, because the fan is where it is, they're difficult to silence by way of a replacement fan. I would probably have used mine more if it weren't for the noise, as it can do things that some of the other comparable machines, like the LC475, can't do, like auto-power on, and displaying TV.

The plastics are also poor quality, or at least, haven't aged well. I have both an LC630 and a Performa 6290 or some such, and both of them have case problems, caused by brittle plastics.
