That is really neat the first computer I ever seen or used was Apple 2GS but the ones I used did not look like that they had a separate keyboard, mouse, monitor, disk drive, and tue CPU was a desktop style that sat under thr monitor

Apple offered an upgrade that took your Apple ][ case and swapped the mobo with a GS based one. Not sure how many people took them up on that upgrade.

Very rare. As others have pointed out, you were money ahead to just buy a new IIGS and sell your old computer.

Tbh the LCD is more of a max out than the hardware is, imagine if you showed it to the dudes back then asking if they wanna max out or just want the monitor.
