Prototype Mac Pro and Intel PowerBook Spotted
Prototype Apple products have been known to appear on eBay. Late last year, a prototype MacBook Air was found by a member of our forum and in March a prototype iPhone was spotted.
Now, it seems a prototype Mac Pro has been put up for sale on eBay, claiming to be an early 2.4GHz dual Quad-Core processor machine. The machine is said to even be able to run Snow Leopard. Photos of the machine are provided and it does contain a red motherboard typical of Apple's prototype machines:
Meanwhile, another interesting prototype machine was found by a forum member back in May. jpo287 purchased a PowerBook that carries an Intel processor and an iSight camera -- features that were never released in a "PowerBook" branded machine. The machine carries a build date of November of 2005 which was two months before the first Intel MacBook Pros were released. For whatever reason, this unreleased PowerBook contains a blue motherboard:
More photos and speculation can be seen in the original discussion thread.

$ 2,000.– for the Mac Pro is a bargain. :)
But I'm gonna save my money for the tablet prototype. :D

This should definitely be in Page 2.
Of course a Mac Pro can run Snow Leopard, it's completely Intel.
And a prototype PowerBook 2 months before the MacBook Pros were released simply indicates they changed the name within that timeframe, not that they tried to tack on a bunch of Intellian stuff onto a PPC-intended motherboard :P

Jesus ... who gives a rats ass!
I don't know, sometimes Apple fanboys just go a little too far; we'll be analysing the different types of wiring used next!
Hmmm!
