Some took this in interesting directions, their owners mounting them like you’d install a photo… and this one even came with a keyboard of its successor, Apple II. http://lightningreleases.com/straight-from-the-bedroom-of-steve-jobs-the-most-complete-original-hand-built-apple-1-computer-worldwide-and-other-icons-in-auction-team-brekers-specialty-auction-on-nov-16-2/ …pic.twitter.com/Y0ZXwUX7Mc
I found the transparent cases particularly attractive, showcasing that the Apple I PCB is so elegant in and of itself (kudos, @stevewoz!).
Here’s one with two “function keys.”

Here’s what I assume is a more modern case, from @LivingComputers Museum in Seattle – a place where you can actually interact with the Apple I!pic.twitter.com/KUlEA7NtpO
And here’s another one from the same museum – “the model that Steve Jobs would bring to potential buyers to demonstrate its capabilities.”pic.twitter.com/T6GIolPFjO
A few were charming, none more so than one this in a unique case with an amazing wordmark.pic.twitter.com/lakOXq1PwF
But my favourite bunch were Apple Is mounted in… suitcases, giving them unique portability. Here’s one of them. https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/shoulders-giants-making-modern-world/first-apple-computer-50/70080 …pic.twitter.com/OLIJ2AUD7c
Here’s another one, currently residing in Scotland.pic.twitter.com/M3l8pSanLn
And this last, possibly the most fascinating, “all-in-one” Apple I – coming with a “built-in” tape recorder, and a mini manual. https://collection.maas.museum/object/397247 pic.twitter.com/5eZot6PZ6d
Out of some 200 Apple Is made, there are about ~60 extant ones we know of. Some volunteers try to keep track of their whereabouts on this website:https://www.apple1registry.com

All of this style reminds me of something very different – the early Soviet/East European home computers, often also in weird, “homely” cases made out of whatever was laying around.https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/862394033359929345 …
Marcin Wichary added,
There’s just one tiny difference: none of *these* fetches hundreds of thousands dollars in today’s auctions. https://www.google.com/search?q=apple+i+auction&oq=apple+i+auction&aqs=chrome.0.0l2j69i60j0l3.2221j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 …
