This doesn't sound like a particularily good deal.  I read somewhere
(maybe in MacWeek?) that to upgrade a Mac II/IIx to a IIfx would
cost $3000 plus another $1000 for 4Mb of memory.  Granted, you don't
get a new case and power supply, but even with Apple's somewhat high
prices, $1000 seems an awful lot to pay for them.		:-)
