Apple's TV 'hobby' is probably older than you might think.  Engadget uncovered a little Ebay auction on a protoype Apple set top box circa 1995.  Never heard of this?  Check Wikipedia for the deets.  Oh, and if you have a measly $250 and a big Apple nostalgia streak, click on that 'buy it now' button.  Update: Auction Over  - someone is $250 poorer

And an original Apple TV richer.

Perhaps one could take a new Apple TV and put it in this one...I don't imagine anyone would be able to get that thing actually working.

I got a stack of these years ago from an auction. If I remember correctly, these came out of Oracle. They had a modified Quadra board in them, SCSI hard drive and a 1.44 floppy drive.
