The IIci is probably my favorite classic mac (other than the portable,
perhaps). Great case, compact and easy to work on. Built-in video too.

The monitor is separate, kinda irrelevant to the CPU. If the monitor is
bad, just get a new monitor. (they can, as someone mentioned, run a VGA
monitor with the right adapter.)

I assume you mean the floppy drives. Again, they can be replaced, although
mac floppy drives aren't cheap. Depending on your exact situation, you can
often get away without a working floppy. (If you mean the hard drive,
that's even easier; it's a standard 3.5" scsi drive.)
The IIci can run a CD-ROM drive, connect to the internet, and do just about
anything you'd like. Rachel's got 3 (I think) of them in her classroom,
plus one at home (her first computer, now her niece's).
