I bought my SE/30 in March of 1990 and had in the back of my mind upgrading
to color.  In Dec. I did just that.  I bought a 14" Magnavox 256
color monitor and 8-bit color video board from Micron as a package for $829.
I won't mention the mail order house that I bought from, because I had a
bad problem with one of their salespeople (and I will probably not buy
from them again).  However, if you look thoroughly through the mailorder
houses that advertise in MacUser magazine, you'll find that there a lot of them
that offer either the Magnavox or NEC Multisync color monitors (with the
required video card & cables) as a package for around $800 to $900.

p.s.  Make sure you shop around and ask how much they charge for their
shipping, especially if you want it 2nd or next day air!
