I just finished purchasing a RasterOps 24-bit color card and Applecolor
monitor for my SE/30 (it's finally arrived, and works great.)  When I was
shopping around, the only other recommended option besides the Applecolor
monitor was the 14" Seiko, which is cheaper than the 13" Apple color monitor
by almost $100.  Quality is supposed to be very good on this monitor.

As for a cheap SE/30 color card that will work with either the Apple or
Seiko monitor, the Micron 8-bit color card has a very good reputation.  (I
bought the 24-bit color card simply because it was only about $150 more from
my dealer.)  I think that's about the cheapest decent combination you could
get for the SE/30.
