Although several people have posted their university's student price list to the net recently, I, of course, didn't pay attention since I didn't need the info. :-( Does anyone have upgrades available on student price lists? A colleague is interested in the SE -> SE/30 upgrade. If you've got either that and/or the II -> IIx upgrade on your listing, please email me a note. Thanks.

A colleague >is interested in the SE -> SE/30 upgrade. > Hmm. General advice: forget the upgrade. The NCSU Bookstore charges $1400 for the upgrade, without the superdrive. That's several $100 extra (I forget exactly). If you SELL your SE for, say, $1500, and add the $1400 for the upgrade, you're only about $1000 away from a baseline IIcx configuration, which is in most ways superior to the SE/30. You are a little less away from an SE/30 w/ a hard disk. I had been considering buying an accelerator or the upgrade card, an external hard disk, and a portrait monitor for my SE. But I started looking at the price tag for the upgraded SE vs. a similar IIcx, and ... guess what ... I'll even get 4-bit depth on my portrait display with the IIcx! If the logic board upgrade were more like $800-$1000, and the superdrive were a little less expensive, I might look at it differently. But ...

Can you post the prices for se to se/30 upgrades? I can't get the store to quote a student price yet. Does anyone have any quotes?

Does anyone have any quotes? If we are going to do this, why not post for all upgrades. I do not think that UCLA is giving any discounts for upgrades. If they were/are I'd want one for my MacII.
