With the people and resources here, you can get that mad puppy howling again!
First off - the motherboard and video card is going to need a recapping. Talk to Uniserver about his recapping services. Many, including I recommend him and TechKinght. They have been known to get dead Macs crawl out of the grave!
The hard drive might need not work, so time to save up for a new one. RAM - if you can get 4 - 16MB EDO RAM at 120 to 80 ns Speed, it will bring it up to 64.
The IIcx is slow - 16MHz as is. But it does not mean it's useless. You can still do a lot with it. If you can find an accelerator for it - get it! If you can't, that's not a problem either.
At most, you can use System 7.1 for it as anything else will run slow.
BTW - my first Mac was a IIcx. I still have it.
