Another rare original Apple computer is hitting the auction block and while its hardware isn't a marvel of speed by today's standards, it's still expected to fetch about as much as the going price for a snazzy new supercar.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers in the mid-1970s and around 60 of those are known to still exist today. Every so often one pops up at auction and manages to sell for a price that could easily purchase a home in most locations.

RR Auctions is preparing to take bids on a functioning, late "Byte Shop"-style Apple-1 model, with the expectation that it will go for more than $300,000 (about £233,553, AU$409.500). That's about the same you can expect to pay for the speedy and sexy 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, among many, many other awesome things.
