Depends on the model. The 3100/M38's are fairly nice, the /76's are even
neater.
CPU is a variant on the MicroVAX. KA42, if I recall.
VGA monitor: Only if said monitor can do sync-on-green and handle the
fixed-frequency output (I think it runs at 1280 x 1024 -- somebody check me
on that, please?) of the unit.
OS-wise, you can run OpenVMS, Ultrix (bleah!), or NetBSD (yay!)
