Apple sold them to "The Byte Shop" with no
case, power supply or keyboard
(all available seperatly), but in order to increase the sales the store
commisioned cases from a local cabinetmaker. These were made of koa wood,
and look extremly nice (to my tastes). I've always thought it would be
keen to have a computer in a wooden case, but apple clearly beat me to it.
So did NorthStar with the early Horizons, Processor Technology Sol-20's
had wooden sides, and Cromemco came out with a dual 8" (Persci) drive
that had a beautiful all wood cabinet. BTW, all of the above will be on
display at the Vintage Computer Festival (plug).
