You'll want to raise it from 8MB to 16MB of memory to get decent performance.   
The 125MB hard disk is small; consider replacing it with a 400MB SCSI or ESDI  
hard drive.  (SCSI is better; you'll also want an SCSI interface.)

The performance of your 486/33MHZ will be roughly equal to a 25MHZ color  
system.  Not very exciting.

Don't buy anything until NeXTSTEP 486 is out, because the required hardware  
config might change.  And don't forget to add in $1000 -> $2500 to puchase  
NeXTSTEP 486.

All in all, you are better of selling that machine RIGHT NOW.
