Rare NeXT hardware

Thought this could be a fun thread.

To start things off, I've never seen this monitor base before:

This is the last model produced, and it only came with an ADB connector. I have one in my collection; the CRT quality is better than the early N4000 monitors with the heavy iron bases.

Very cool. I prefer the simplicity of the original stand but sounds like a serious hardware upgrade.

NeXT produced this monitor for sale? or are they just prototypes? I have never seen it before. Is it Mono like the original one?

Yes, it was the last generation of B&W megapixels. I would assume not many went out as they were released along with the turbo cubes. I prefer the original base personally, but these came with a longer life crt which makes them sought after.

It was available for sale, and it is basically like the N4000A except for (a) the stand, (b) ADB, and (c) a better, longer-lasting CRT. It is indeed a mono monitor.

I had a friend who sought one out because he preferred the new CRT, but he swapped in an older N4000/N4000A metal stand because he liked its look better than the frogfoot.
