I'm planning on running either NeXTstep or Linux on it.  However, I have no monitor for this workstation.  It uses a 13w3 monitor connector, and I have nothing that will fit it.  Does anyone here have a monitor that they would be willing to give away/sell/trade (I have an Apple monitor that I don't need), or does anyone know a place here in Columbia where I could get one?  Also, I've read that the Sun optical mice need a special mousepad.  Where could I get one of these?

Your apple monitor will probably work on the Sun.  IIRC, macs used sync on 
green, which is what sun and sgi use(d) (probably hp/apollo, too).  All you
should need is the cables to convert 13W3 to HD15.  Barring that, most 
monitors will do sync on green, it's just the video cards that have a hard
time dealing with it.  All ya need are the right cables.
