A prototype of a Mac Pro

Seen on eBay, a prototype of a 12-core Mac Pro. The machine integrates two 6-core Xeons, along with diagnostic LEDs commonly seen on Xserves. The seller is indulging in wishful thinking by implying that it might be Steve Jobs’ machine…

The machine features a sticker indicating that it hasn’t been validated by the FCC (at least a sign of a pre-production unit), and it has the same diagnostic LEDs as a 2009 Xserve. Similarly, it lights up once powered and turns red when powered off or in sleep mode.
