I maxed out the RAM 2-3 years ago when this guy on eBay was selling sets of 128MB for the IIci for $15. He was in silicon valley and had hundreds of sticks of RAM. It was the only thing he sold. Worst guy I ever dealt with on eBay but his product worked.
My IIci shares keyboard, trackball and a 19" monitor with my B&W via a KVM. It has a Supermac Nubus video card (a $10 eBay purchase) that allows the IIci to drive large monitors with 24-bit color. The Daystar 50MHz accelerator was also a $10 purchase. It amazes me how cheap these things are today. The Daystar and Supermac cards originally sold for around $3K. 128MB of RAM back then would have cost about the same. Ditto the ethernet card or the 1GB hard drive. I estimate that the $70 I have invested in the IIci would have cost about $25K back when Apple still made it. Like Mel said, it's a wonderful old workhorse.
