You know, I was thinking but didn't want to mention it in case I was wrong, but Apple did sell an upgrade kit for the IIe that turned it into a IIgs. The only problem with it is that you can't fit full length IIgs expansion cards inside a IIe case because of the way it angles down in the keyboard area. It is very possible if the previous owner was using it with a IIgs monitor, that there could be a IIgs motherboard inside.

I think it's more likely that the monitor was included by chance. A "stealth" IIgs would be a nice find, but I doubt this is one since it has no 3.5" drives (assuming it is a complete system) and it doesn't have an RGB video port. Only time will tell...
