Mac SE/30 down from my Attic

[wildstar1063]

A couple of days ago, my YouTube feed got recommended a video for a Mac SE/30 with damage from a leaking battery, after watching that video, I realized I had one up in the attic that had been there since 2011 or 2012. In the meantime, I ordered one of those long T15 screwdrivers from Amazon, and last night, I got up into the attic, and took the thing down and opened it up. Fortunately, the battery has not leaked, and I can't even see any damage from leaking caps, although I think I'll get some new tant caps and replace the old electrolytes. This Mac came from the University of Oklahoma, and still has the asset tag, I purchased it at a thrift store for five dollars. It has the Asante ethernet board in it, and back when I was playing around with it I even had it on the Internet with an old version of Netscape. It also has a built-in 40 meg hard drive.
At this point, I'm just curious what upgrades/changes are recommended for the SE/30. I'm thinking about upgrading the ram, as I remember, it seem to run out of memory a lot. Are there any available modern processor upgrades for this thing, I am more of an Amiga guy, and there are tons of new upgrades being produced for older Amiga's computers, but I haven't seen much for the older Mac's

Thanks

RAM upgrade is a good idea, to at least 8MB or 16mb. More is available, but a bit overkill. Really, a good recap job on the PSU, AB, and LB is the most important piece, and often you will want a SCSI emulator such as Zuluscsi for more storage.

Processor upgrades: There are no /modern/ processor upgrades available, just reproductions and riffs on older designs currently.

These two made by @Bolle are for the IIci slot and typically are paired with one of his ethernet combo adapters (an adapter is required to SE/30 PDS slot)

Carrera 68040
Powercache 68030

Or, to toot my own horn, I make an 68030 accelerators in two forms: Booster 68030. Not as quick as the prior two, as they do not have cache, but do not require an adapter.
