Not bad at all. Had one myself that I purchased with a 200MHz 604e processor installed. Had 7.5.5 installed on it, which I upgraded to 8.6 in short order, using the 3GB drive that came out of my old Centris 650-badged 7100/80. Eventually, popped in a 300MHz Newer Technologies MaxPowr G3. Then, upgraded to 9.2.2 on it with a 9.1 GB Seagate that came out of a friend's old 8500.

Anyway, the 7500 series was a nice computer. Only thing I didn't like whas the requirement of the manual-inject floppy drive. At least, the G1 PowerMacs (Nubus versions) can use the old auto-inject Sony floppy drives. Other than that, I liked it. Was a lot easier to work on than the IIvx-style case of the 7100/80.
