I have about 8 of these in my garage at the moment in various states of 
disarray... Basically, they're not a terribly good monitor and all the ones
I have left have something wrong with them (either they're completely 
frotzed or they need simple tuning)... But I don't know nuthin 'bout
electrickity so I'm not gonna bother... They're pretty heavy too... If
you can manage to find a 98785A (I think that's what it was), it's a 
color trinitron monitor and you can hook the mono output from your cpu
to the green signal on the monitor to get a nice cheezy green display but
it'll be a lot more reliable than those heinous mono monitors... Careful
though, you might also find a 98789A or it's 19" equivalent but they won't
sync to that mono card... they're for the 1280x1024 display cards...

hmm.. I dunno... It should be fairly easy to scare up a keyboard... I don't
recommend running X in 4mb so you probably won't need a mouse...

scsi cards are a rarity.. At least in my sphere of the universe... I have a 
bunch of 340's (to go along with the bunch of monitors) and none of them have
scsi cards in them...  I don't have a source for hpib disks either...
