I donated a bunch of my older macs to the kids' school because at the
time they were running Apple IIs in the classroom and I had a stack of
IIci and IIsi, as well as the Mac II. Think I gave them two dozen,
with monitors for most.
Now they purchase a dozen macbooks at a time each year, and no more
donating for them. Increased tuition and begging ($$$$) each year.

Yeah, I forgot about those, because they were $$O expensive.
I guess the IISi seemed like the first separate monitor mac to me
because it was the first semi-affordable one. At that time I was
still running on my IIGS

First no monitor mac was the plain Mac II. Huge box with six NUBUS
slots. Loved that thing. The IIfx was the Bomb though. Used funky
RAM, 64 pin, and I had mine decked out with all slots full of 16meg
sticks. Radius cards and extra SCSI.

Ok, I have updated listing:
Mac II Si, LCIII, 7200, G3 Beige, and G3 Blue/white Macs, along
with a Wall street laptop with OS 10. Still have the 17" Mac
monitor with built in speakers also.
All are available for free if you pay the shipping (or pick it up).
Just send me your mailing address off-list, with a specific request.
Looks like there might be a couple of takers for the Wall Street,
but nobody has sent me an address yet.
I think the II Si was the first mac without a builtin monitor

Alex,
I have a 68030 II SE I am getting rid of. Would that work for
you? I have a 17" Mac monitor with the built in speakers too, if
you want it. I think it came with one of the first Mac types with
the video I/O card from the factory. Very fancy (expensive)
monitor in its day!
Also have a 7200, G3 Beige and Blue/white Macs, along with a Wall
street laptop with OS 10 on it, looking for homes if anyone is
interested. Pay the freight, and they are yours! Oh, and I have
one other, can't remember the model, but it is also an 030, the
small one. I used it for a headless print server for quite a
while.
(cleaned the garage today)
My favorite old app is print shop for the Apple II. You could do
stuff with it that later Winders and Mac versions could not do.
Love those dot matrix graphics. Now it is a "retro" look. A step
up (or down) from Asci II graphics.

Aha, Jim, now you've hit on the _real_ reason to buy trailing-edge
hardware... it's not about saving money so much as it's about
being
able to run old games.
Sometimes I wish I'd kept my Mac Plus around just to play Dark
Castle.
(Yes, I know I could do it though emulation, but it's just not the
same.)
