It's your basic, non-Turbo monochrome NeXTstation and it included the
monitor, keyboard, mouse, generic external HDD (in a case with a
WeirdStuff price tag :) ) and a NeXT-branded CD-ROM drive. I'll have to
dig through my boxes of cables for a C50-C50 cable so I can have both
drives connected at the same time.
The monitor was decently bright under room light at night, and it seems
pretty good now in a room with a Northern exposure on a sunny day. But
when I checked just now it's set to maximum brightness, so maybe I'll be
looking at wiring options too.
I've gotten spoiled with an SSD in my main PC - my office is silent, and
the NeXTstation's Seagate 15150N is most definitely not! I'll have to
rig something newer and quieter...

Nice. Did you get a monitor? I am hoping to do the VGA mod so I can
run my Cube off an LCD, soon. (Its original monitor is fading.)
Happiness is a warm VAX.
Or booting up NextSTEP 3.3 on a free NeXTstation for the first time. ;)
