Here it is. This is my early Transparent Mac SE. The clear case was created for smoke testing at Apple. They wanted to make sure the computer was being adequately cooled so the clear case was Apple's way to view the smoke. Supposedly 20 of these were built. Only 8-10 were built into fully working machines. Of those 8-10 working only 3 or less of these exist in the real world. I know another person who owns one but all the rest are at Apple, if at all. I talked to a few people who knew about these machines which is where the numbers are generated from. They are speculative so there might even be less than that. Either way I love this little machine. I picked it up from a gentlemen in the SF Bay who worked with a person who was a part of this project. The person who worked at Apple and the guy I bought it from started a partnership to bring computers into inner city schools. This is how this person I know came to own this machine. It was given to him as a gift for his help with the computer program and he help onto it ever since. I still contact him and have all the original manuals, owners manual, carry case, software disks
