I've always wanted an old Mac, and I thought my iMac G3/Powerbook G4 12 could satisfy that need, but alas, I need something older. I have limited desk space (I even had to move my iMac G3 to the floor because I have no room for it), and as far as I know, the LC series is as small as it gets (compact macs are out of the question as I am not recapping an analog board). I've narrowed it down to either the LC 475/Performa 605, or the LC III, depending on which I can find on my local marketplaces and the RE-PC I live near (although their prices tend to be way too high). There are probably some other ones to consider that I haven't found yet, so I'm still considering my options. I could use some recommendations on models, information and things to look for about these, and other things, so please post some in the comments. I wish (or maybe there is and I didn't find it) a buyers guide for vintage macs in general (best I could find was the Mac84 series which I just finished watching). I would probably want to do some light gaming on this, and maybe even internet browsing through a blueSCSI I plan on getting.
Which LC/Performa to buy?

- Start date
I'm guessing you're in Seattle? There's someone in Spanaway selling a Performa/LC 475 on the 'bay.
Unforunately, Spanaway is too far for me.
How about a PowerBook?
They are a tad more failure prone than an LC to be fair. I'd be cautious.
