No, just (!) the color monitor.

No.  There is no bus on the NeXTstation.  The NeXTdimension (32-bit) color
board must be installed in a cube.  I suppose you could "upgrade" a 
NeXTstation to a NeXTstation Color (16-bit) by replacing the board and the 
monitor, but I doubt saving the cost of the slab enclosure would be worth it.
