Radius Pivot with a Radius card for the SE/30. I had one. It was most cool ! But definitely get the Daystar 68040 card, and max out the RAM at 16MB if you can. There are times I miss that beast. Aldus Pagemaker, and when you get bored or need a break, Ambrosia screen saver games. Good times... goood times.
I have one like this!
But mine has a 40MHz 040 card, 128MB of RAM & a 2GB hard drive and can even run OS 8.1!

IIRC I had a little application that let you rotate the video display on a 280c or 5xx series...

Ooh... that's right ! I used to hook up the Radius to my PB 520 to see teh colorz.... In retrospect, I think I had 64M of RAM on my SE/30. I wanted to get up to 128, but could not afford the chips. And yeah, I had the 40Mhz Daystar. I used to surf to DM on the interwebs via AOL (gasp).
And I could watch videos. Really ! As long as they were 8 bit color and 32x48 or so...
