I picked a Centris 650 system up last month at the same price. The main
attraction for me was the amount of RAM installed - 52 MB. What with he low
availability and high prices of 72-pin SIMMs nowadays, it is usually cheaper
to buy an entire computer only to excavate the RAM. I did find it very
likable, though, and I'm actually surprised that an '040 Mac can be so swift.
Usually, I'm anything but impressed by MacOS' performance.

Are you certain? According to what I've heard, the CC II was only released in
Asia.
If you actually find one, you'd certainly earn a lot of you sold it on eBay.
