The recent thread about LC 5xx front bezels got me thinking about the LC/Performa 580. Historically, I generally preferred the 575, due mainly to its Trinitron display with much finer dot pitch. I find the 580 has significant appeal to me now as hard drive replacements or conversion to CF storage are trivial compared to earlier machines due to its IDE bus. It seems to me the logic board also has a slot that accepts the Apple Video System or a tuner.

Has anyone tried swapping a Trinitron tube from a donor 5xx into a 580?
