Half a year following the release of the Macintosh IIx passed before Apple introduced the Macintosh IIcx in 1989. Despite resembling the IIx to a great extent, the IIcx was quieter (due to its quieter fan on a smaller power supply) than its predecessor. The design was also much more compact because it had only three NuBus slots. In fact, it was one of the (very) few Macintosh models which could be set either in a horizontal or vertical position.
Users liked the Mac IIcx in part because its components and parts (such as RAM, NuBus slots, and power supply) snapped into place case without the need for screws. This made it less expensive to build, easier to repair, and earned it heavy praise and a warm reception amongst the Mac community.
