A bit too pricey for me...

A TurboColor! Too bad it seems it doesn't include monitor. I have no idea how easy is to get one monitor for those, or an adaptor. I have a NextStation Turbo, and the monitor is powered by the "video cable". The keyboard is connected behind the monitor, so i assume the same video cable also carries those signals. Not your everyday standard video port.

i always wanted a NeXT, but could never afford one... even second hand with no HDD or Monitor, they still demand a high price. Really (really!) wanted a NeXT Cube and large greyscale monitor back when I was starting in Desktop Publishing Smile

What´s so special about these computers,
why are so expensive, like that one it doesn´t even have a System included (no HDD)..?

They define an era of Steve Jobs outside Apple, and i don't think there are too many of them in existence. They run what i would call the precursor of MacOS X.
