UPDATE: My II won't boot now. I got the monitor working just fine, then I lost the 'bong' at startup (and no boot). I washed the mobo and got the 'bong' back(and some odd teakettle noises), but it can't seem to start up. I don't get a sad mac, or a blinking disk or anything, just the gray screen for as long as I leave it on. What would be involved in fixing this? Would it be worth it to buy an LCIII mobo and just call it an upgrade?

It's always a good thing when you have to replace an LCII board with a newer one. The LC didn't really get good until the III came out without any of the bugs or faults of the earlier machines. If you can get a newer board than a III that fits the case, that's even better because the LC just got better and better over time. I wouldn't imagine any LC motherboard would be very expensive.
