Just seeing that Performa 6400 gives me the eebie jeebies!
As in my opinion that machine was probably the worst pile of donkey doo doo Apple ever produced. To work on it was an absolute nightmare, build quality was rubbish and typical cheap junk made for the home consumer.
I also disagree that the Apple HD was built to match it, the only curved part is vertical, the Performa curves are generally horizontal. The HD was probably built to match machines a couple of years earlier than 97, so look at 95ish machines as it was probably built to extend the life of older machines, not necessarily to complement existing or current machines at the time it was launched.
And yes, during this time Apples product line up was all over the place, far too many machines with only slight differences between them. The 90's wern't a great time for Apple generally.
