Cool, I just picked up yet another IIgs logic board for $25 this week also. 
Must be the going price.

You'll have to get a 3.5 drive to do anything. Look in the Mac forsale groups
for a good deal on one of those. While you're arranging that, FTP to 
ftp.support.apple.com where you can find the disks for IIgs system software
6.0.1 in Apple disk copy 4.2 format, real handy for converting on your Mac.
Once you can run the system software, you can use system 7 file shasring
to exchange files over localtalk.
For the monitor, you oughtta be able to find a IIgs RGB for not too much. A
composite color is a workable substitute.
