Depends what you do on the IIgs. If you just want to play games or a few old 
apps you can get by with a simple system, monitor, keyboard, dual 3.5" and 
dual 5.25".

I have a Transwarp IIgs, 8mb RAM card, rev C SCSI card, and I mostly just 
boot from floppy and play games. All the extras are nice if you use GS/OS 
and want to transfer images and files around (and read HFS partitions or 
network with a Mac), but if you have an old Mac you can make usable disks 
there.

You can still find systems on freecycle if you post a wanted, they will most 
likely be basic setups (teachers seem to snag them for their kids and then 
get rid of them when the kids get older).
