Amiga 4000, SyQuest 105mb Drive, 17" Monitor

[Barnacules]

I am completely new to Amiga. Recently I received a box containing an Amiga 4000 with a 120meg HDD, 6MB memory and a SyQuest 105mb drive and a crap load of disks. I've never used an amiga in my life. When I boot the system up I end up in this Workbench 3.0 program that looks absolutly horrible. The resolution is like 320x200 on my 17" Iyama display. Does anyone know what OS I should install on this and what settings I should adjust to get the best possible graphics? Also I would like to connect it to my home network so I can move files too and from other machines if that is possible?  Where would I Get an upgrade for the Amiga to alow it to do this?

Thanks,
Barnacules

I have no idea what the state of the battery is  I haven't even opened up the box yet.  However my system does appear to have another video card installed in it maybe thats a 24bit card.  I'll have to do some more research.

The battery is in flawless condition. Check out http://www.ridemods.com/amiga/. I'm selling the system now because I just dont have the time to learn it.

You must treat the battery as a priority...they tend to leak on those machines if they are old, and then your motherboard could get damaged.
