The price on these upgrades has just come down as of May 13.
Upgrade prices at our institution (based on return of old motherboard) are:

SE -> SE/30               $649
IIcx -> IIci                  $974
II, IIx -> IIfx             $1689

The previous price on the fx upgrade was $1840 - not much of a decrease - 
and you still have to buy new RAM. The SE/30 still isn't 32-bit clean.

Not good enough, Apple. *We want 32-bit clean ROM upgrades.*
