Well, here's my two bits worth to fuel the fire.  This is what we pay at
SUNY Oswego - if someone knows where to get it cheaper, let me know since
I'm thinking about getting one....

  Mac IIcx CPU..............$2988.00
  Mac IIcx/HD40.............$3436.00
  Mac IIcx/HD80/4MB.........$4524.00
  Ext Keyboard...............$160.30
  Video Card.................$349.30
  Mono Monitor...............$279.30
  Color Monitor..............$699.30

Based on this, using non-Apple RAM and disk, I'd say you could come close
to $4000 for a 1MB/40MB Monochrome IIcx system, but a 4MB/80MB color system 
would be over $5000....
