Taking a look at the two photographs, it's either a VERY good Photoshop. Note the Wikipedia image has a small smudge in the beige plastic right above the floppy drive bays, and the lower drive cover is covered in a hazy, white crust. The craigslist image lacks these details, and has a darkened stain (!?) on the lower disk drive cover. However, the "crust" (which might be a flash reflection off the matte finish) is still partially visible on the lower drive bay. Also of note, the surface that the unit is sitting on. The left-hand side of the Wikipedia has the wood surface meeting the wall at about 4% (image-size relative) below the start of the upper drive's vents, and on the right, about 2% above the middle seam (between the two drive units). The craigslist image has these exact same details, more-or-less identical! The wood was replaced with a bland color similar to the wall to make these seams hard to discern - very much so on the right hand side (but I can see it, sorry Photoshop, you lose), and there's that glaringly obvious discrepancy on the right-hand bottom edge of the unit... I don't think reality warps a straight line like that. (For the record: My photoshop-discerning skills come from too much browsing of a certain internet cesspool imageboard, styled after a popular Japanese web-BBS, in my teenage years. They used Photoshop like it was going out of style. After a while, you learn how to discern the fakes.) On Apr 10, 2012, at 5:23 PM, mc68010 wrote:
