AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Looking for the perfect display piece or a beautiful replacement case for your SE/30?
Here’s a rare opportunity to own a pristine Macintosh SE/30 case — an ideal gift for vintage Apple enthusiasts this holiday season!
+ + Forword + +
Please don't make any assumptions, but READ the accompanying text. Please examine all photos carefully — they are an essential part of the description and show the exact condition of the item.
… off we goooooo!
This lot includes:
– Outer case shell in excellent condition (+ 4 screws)
– Internal metal intercase (where the floppy and hard disk are mounted)
– Fully working CRT display (unloaded / without logic boards attached)
>> Please note what is not included:
Logicboard, analog board, power supply, floppy drive, hard disk, and other internal electronics.
This SE/30 case is perfect for:
– Owners of a vintage SE/30 who want a beautiful, replacement case
– Collectors & display enthusiasts who want a complete-looking SE/30 for showcase purposes — without needing a working machine
// CONDITION NOTES
– This case is in exceptional condition for its age. The CRT works when powered but is unloaded, so no electronics or drives are included.
– Small signs of handling may be present but overall it is ready to impress on display or to house your existing SE/30 internals*.
/// VINTAGE COMPUTER EXPECTATIONS
First-of-all. Please have realistic expectations when buying a vintage (retro) computer.
As these are "vintage items", they are being sold as. Normal signs of use and wear. But as an experienced connoisseur I can guarantee that these items are in EXCELLENT condition (always keeping in mind their age). The numerous images are part of the meticulous description. Thus: judge yourself!
PS/ some tiny scratches (and other ware-out) are difficult to capture on picture (but they are there … thus: again please have realistic expectations!). Expect small marks, scratches, and cosmetic wear consistent with a Macintosh of this age.
– In addition, the SE/30 cases that are typically sold have several cracks.
This specimen has no single crack in the plastic.
That's unique!
>> Photos are part of the description
Please inspect all images carefully — they show the exact condition of this rare, pristine case.
// IMPORTANT – A NOTE ON YELLOWED PLASTICS!
Some words on the yellowing.
Old computer cases are made of ABS plastics which contain at that time "BROMINE". The element bromine reacts over the time of years with UV light and causes (not-even) "yellowing"*.
Take into account the fact that the plastic case shows "some stains" en "cosmetical imperfections" that are unfortunately difficult to capture. But they are there!
Please, if you find the aforementioned "stains" and "imperfections" a problem, it is recommended that you do NOT bid on this item. Again … the yellowed plastic* is not easy to capture on camera.
FYI/
Experienced collectors love the "aging-bromine-yellowing". You can compare it with "patina" on vintage furnitures. For connoisseurs it transforms the-surface-of-a-piece from the ordinary to the exceptional – and it tells a story … and brings on the appeal of objects that show their age openly. But again … it is important to know that this specific Mac has PATINA.
// PACKAGING & SHIPPING
The SE/30 case + CRT is packaged securely and carefully for safe shipment. Moreover, this bundle is shipped INSURED because of its precious value. Because of the precious content extra attention is paid to the CUSTOM packaging. This extra cost is included in the shipping price.

"One More Thing"
When in doubt, check my positive customer reviews ;) (… because there are some "copycats" out there who copy my style/text and pretend to be me). There is only one "VISENTO"! That's me ;)
Display it proudly this season — or, if you are lucky enough to also win my SE/30 full computer listing, I am happy to swap this pristine case with the computer free of charge before shipping!
Add a touch of Apple nostalgia to your collection this Christmas!
Happy bidding — and happy holidays!
