Very interesting. I always like learning about some of the behind the scenes trivia. If it is one of these, I would wager the PVT version. It has a green board, and is almost identical to the picures that I have seen of the other boards. This was an used machine that I know was purchased soon after being released. It was used at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana in one of the art/media departments. They always got the cool stuff first.
