I paid $1500 dollars for the same config. (USED) a year and half ago,
before fire sale prices, and that was a steal.

Probably easier than putting toast in a toaster, but a little
expensive.  Look at paying around $300 for a 512k ram upgrade, and
about $800 for a 2meg ram upgrade.  I paid $250 for 512k ram upgrade
(USED).

Yes.

If it's a half height, just the drive.  If it's a full height, you need
a external cabinet, and power supply (power supply not absolutley
required.
