From ebay, without RAM or Hard Disk.
Was 18$, seems to be in nice shape.
Has no cache card, will that make it slow?
Thanks!
I plan on adding a lapis video card, and my new macsense ethernet card.

A cache card is worth getting if you can find one. Shouldn't be too hard to find one - Apple were shipping the later IIcis with them pre-installed IIRC.
Nice score though - the IIci is my favourite machine.

Has no cache card, will that make it slow? It really depends upon what you want to do. If you are doing anything that is CPU intensive (e.g. graphics) then a cache card should make a significant difference. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it too much. After all, why spend a lot of money on a model that's on its last legs. (The IIci is one of the machines that suffers from leaky capacitors.)
And I have to agree with macgreg, the IIci is an awfully nice machine.
