It was designed under Steve Jobs' supervision in
what many consider the "golden era" of Apple design and engineering,
when Apple's product line didn't overreach in features nor limit much of
the user experience to the online virtual world. The specs and serial number denote that this was the very first Iteration of the very first Mac Mini released on January 11th 2005, the second iteration was released after July of 2005.

Condition:
Near Mint condition and very lightly used, in its original Apple inner wrapper. The original Apple box and Apple accessories are in Mint condition. This unit has always been kept in secure
and discrete storage free of cigarette smoke, pet hair and food smells
in the tranquil mediterranean climate of southern California free from
extreme hot or cold temperatures. The result of all these years of
diligent safekeeping of this extraordinary piece of Apple history is a
vintage Apple gem that is truly in exceptional condition. See the
extensive gallery collection of this vintage gem for exact condition
details.
Often, when one buys vintage sealed electronics from
amateur sellers, there are significant blemishes, scrapes, dings,
discoloration, and sometimes also, subtle foul smells of cigarette
smoke, food or pets on the item. Often amateur sellers also don't keep
their vintage collections in a climate that is free from extremes of
heat or cold so over time being exposed to these kind of climate
extremes the electronics inside become damaged. Additionally, amateur
sellers don't have professional boxing/packaging skills and often don't
bother to insure their deliveries, the result is deliveries sent via
cheap USPS options (instead of secure FedEx or UPS delivery), and items
arriving damaged with no recourse to be compensated for the damaged
collectable. And of course amateur sellers offer no returns on their
vintage items...
