You haven't included the "must have" accessory for every computer of the time: a modem! Trouble is, the fastest one I recall Apple making was the 1200 baud one - "Apple Modem 1200", I think it was called? By 1990, 2400 bps modems were state of the art, so most IIfx users would have used modems from other manufacturers.

I had a look through some old sales brochures from the time. The closest one I have is for a IIci. It lists an Apple 21" Color display. I don't recall ever seeing one of these beasts. Considering that a 16" display was considered massive at the time, the 21" display would have been exceptionally expensive, heavy and rare.

I remember the Bose speakers. It's not clear in the photo, but while the speakers did not carry an Apple logo, to the left of the letters spelling out "Bose" in the centre of each speaker were six equal length horizontal bars in the Apple colours. The speakers were also very expensive: AU$495.00 if I recall correctly.
