[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Advice Needed: Mac IIcx Monitor, HD, KBD --> What to BUY?!!

EWTILENI@pucc.Princeton.EDU (Eric William Tilenius) (12/28/89)

I have decided to purchase a Mac IIcx computer but I need advice on what
brands of peripherals to buy with it.  Please help if you can!!

Here's the scoop...

1) I'd like 4 meg ram.  Should I order that installed from Apple or should
   I get the 1M model and install the extra RAM from 3rd party suppliers?

2) I'm looking for a full page portrait monitor -- what brands of monitors
   and video cards are good?  Which have grey scale?  Where is a good place
   to buy a non-Apple monitor?

3) I'm looking to buy about an 80 Meg hard drive -- am I best off with
   an internal or external?  Apple or non-apple?  How hard is it to
   install a third party internal drive?  What are good brands of drives
   and is 80 Meg a good size to get?  What should I look for?

4) Any suggestions on keyboards or mice?

THANKS VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!!  I hope to purchase the system soon, and need
to know what I'm ordering from Apple and what I'm not, since the Apple stuff
will take longer to ship.
