Max weight for an LC475

Author	Topic
Jobf Junior Member United Kingdom 162 Posts	Posted - 22 Feb 2003 : 04:44:50 I've just rearranged my setup and have now got my 17" SVGA monitor sat on my LC475. Whats the max recommended weight that a pizza box can handle? It seems solid enough.. TIA ==== Steve/Jobf ===== Lisa 2, LC475, PB145b, PB160, PB540c, IIsi.

I weigh 245lbs, and the LCII just bent ever so slightly, but no damage was done Artillery Commander/Engineer, 68kMLA Liberated: LCII , III+, IIci, Q700, 800, and 840av, P550, 410 Contraband: Beige G3/300 MT o/c 400mhz, (2) 6100's Keeper of the 68kmla Hotline mirror server: 68k.dyndns.org

QuadraJets Junior Member USA 344 Posts	Posted - 22 Feb 2003 : 16:06:52 245 pounds= 111.13 kg 76kg= 167.5 pounds That's why it bent a little when I stood on it Hmmm... Now to see what a 486 desktop can hold.... sets 486 behind rear wheels of car, hops in, and throws it in reverse Artillery Commander/Engineer, 68kMLA Liberated: LCII , III+, IIci, Q700, 800, and 840av, P550, 410 Contraband: Beige G3/300 MT o/c 400mhz, (2) 6100's Keeper of the 68kmla Hotline mirror server: 68k.dyndns.org

Jobf Junior Member United Kingdom 162 Posts	Posted - 23 Feb 2003 : 10:44:56 Thanks for the info guys. I thought it would be OK but I just wanted to be sure. I also came across the official Apple recommendations: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=8300 For an LCIII they recommend 22.7kg. For an LC475 they recommend max 15.9kg(!) Bit of a difference between those and QuadraJets 111.13 kg! I'm suprised at the difference between the LC475 & LCIII figures. And for a 4400 they say 22.7kg. You could sit an elephant on a 4400!
