If old, rare and vintage computers are your thing, you’ll probably be interested to learn that a vintage Macintosh SE computer with a clear plastic case has emerged. Apparently the SE is one of ten clear case prototypes that was produced and apparently only eight units have survived to date. According to Adam G of Vancouver who was the lucky one to get his hands on this vintage Macintosh computer, he described the system as:

“Aladdin was the code-name for the Mac SE computer. Being that the SE was the first Mac […] that used a fan for its cooling, they needed to do smoke tests with these units to see how the air flowed inside the machine and move components on the power sweep / analog board accordingly, to provide adequate cooling to them. Attached are some photos after I got this system back up and running. ”

Given that Adam G has some vintage Mac parts for sale on eBay, we would not be surprised if he were to put this Macintosh SE onto the auction website eventually. We’re not sure how much he plans to ask for it, but if such a computer sounds and looks like a great addition to your collection, head on over to his eBay page and keep your eyes peeled for its listing.
