It is not worth it. Save your $320 and get a 900 series Quadra instead. Hell, even a Quadra 700 would be better over that 40mhz bleeding edge piece of crap.

Like mentioned the ram is proprietary. 8mb is nice when it's just the OS installed but once you start adding and customizing things you will run out pretty fast. I hope you were not planning on using it for Photoshop. Sure, more ram is an option but expect a bump to even 16mb to cost you half of what you paid for the machine.

If you are so demanding of an 030 machine just get a IIci. They're nasty and everyone overappreciates them but they are 32-bit "clean" machines and a lot more common.

The only reason I have seen so far to justify owning a IIfx was when you either had all the components to upgrade the snot out of it beforehand or you had a $5000 MacIvory card. Otherwise I suggest you avoid them at all cost.
