Two LC 575s for $5/each. Average condition...stickers, some yellowing, some sticker removal ghosts - but no cracks or missing plastics. Best, they both have network cards. Got them from an Air Force guy being deployed to Japan.

Nice!

Ahh, fond memories. My first Mac was an LC 575... paid $250 or so for it, used. That was back in 4th grade. Have fun with those! :beige:

I think they were great machines. Some do not like them from an aesthetic point of view, but in the flesh (plastic?), they actually look a great deal like the Color Classic. The screens were fabulous. Mine runs so silently you'd scarcely know it was on. And they are much more compact than something like a 5200.

Well worth a fiver.

My LC 575 (well, Performa 578 if you want to get technical) gets daily use. As beachycove said, it's practically silent. I love it! From an aesthetic point of view, it's one of my favorite Macs.

I've always thought the LC575 is the best looking AIO...there's just something about it thats....just so right.

I always thought that the 575's were the fugliest macs ever. But I really would not mind owning one and especially at that price! The Price is right!

Sweet deal! I used LC 5xxs at school often.

In my book, the Color Classic or G3 AIO wins the "fugly" contest.

I like the CC. I just wish it could do 640x480 standard. The "Mystic" CC with VGA hack is pretty much my ideal classic Mac.

The molar, though, yeah...uuuuuugly.

I just got a 575 a couple of weeks ago from AnalogKid. I love it, the screen is crisp and it with After Dark running it has been a great distraction for my new kitten. :lol:

The LC 5xx line is indestructable! I have a clean LC 580 with 52 MB (max) ram, 3 GB HD, System 7.5.5 and it runs any 68k app with ease. Never had any issues with it.

I'd always wanted a 575! When I was quite young I was begging my parents for a Performa AIO but all we found on sale was the 550, we bought it for $990, REFURBED. It did the trick though...but still my how times and prices have changed. Have fun with the 575, best AIO 040, IMHO.

Lovely machine, especially when you add a full '040, 1MB video and lots of RAM. Plays DOOM-era games and of course great performance with apps. Speakers are going iffy on mine though, meh
