It used to be a 1Ghz dualie and since it works I'm wondering why it was missing the rest of its innards.

The answer to your question lies in your very own words. The dual 1ghz cpu board from the Quicksilver is in high demand as an upgrade part for Digital Audios and slower Quicksilver models. So is the RAM and video card. You can frequently get more parting them out than leaving them intact.

The Studio CRT is only going to be of use if you have an ADC video card or a VGA-ADC adapter. the adapter isn't cheap because it's doesn't just carry the signal. It is also a power supply for the ADC monitor because without an ADC video card, the monitor has has no access to a power source. ADC monitors draw their current through a pin on the ADC connector.
