I think this could be a prototype for the Apple Set Top Box. They look like SCART sockets on the front there and the label STB 1 gives a clue

So what is the point? it dont work, dont run and takes up space. Plus its ugly. Tell me who is gonna "collect" this? Strange to me to think someone really wants it as much as you want to get rid of it for profit.
Sdashiki: Well, there are people that collect such things (I got $200 for a corporate sale from Apple), I got $270 for a MacTV, many other examples... I think it is just a few collectors though but they fight each other for the rare stuff. I'll post some pictures of a Prototype Apple Stock Certifacte I found too (FRAMED w/ Plaque!)... Its amazing at least for fun to see how much this stuff sells for, its really fun to watch... Let me use a good example, say I had a G5 Prototype and it was uglier then dirt, and did not work (nor would it ever), would you want it?
Chundles: No, but I've enough probable cause for Apple to search my home
Sly: I found out from other people you are right there was three Apple Prototypes for the settop box (like the one you have a picture of) the STB1, STB2, and STB3... But I'm glad I've the first proto
