This is the kind of lash-up I'd expect to find come out of some back
street hack-shop in Nigeria. I was really shocked to see it's of German
origin! :-D

Does this EEV blog guy have a real job, or is he just another guy who
couldn't meet his own deadlines with working prototypes, under budget?
My only question would be 'Did it serve its purpose?'. He'll never
know.

I thought the presenter a bit of a tw-t. It was plainly not delivered to a customer, it was a preproduction unit.

I'd guess its purpose would have been to help secure a large contract
for supply of (properly engineered) devices. They hacked something
together that looked (from the outside) like the final product-
probably on a very short deadline. It also looks pretty old based on
the CF card and Windows XP and maybe NiMH cells. It's apparently still
functional after 5-10 years, so not too shabby.

Then why does that label imply it was the 11th unit produced?
I do a fair number of hand-wired protos for proof-of-concept demos,
because they're way faster than PCBs, and therefore much cheaper for the
client, and they work great for many things. For instance, these were
for a transcutaneous blood alcohol and glucose probe, which worked
great.

Or by someone who is not an electronics engineer but knows how to
interconnect some externally sourced building blocks and is new to
soldering and construction.
People like that can build a PC from case and components, and in this
case someone like that overshot their capabilities a bit while trying
to fit a lot of parts in a small case.
He emphasizes that because the serial number is 0011 there must be 11
units or more like this, but of course that assumes the serial numbering
started at 0001.
Maybe the number is just a random example, maybe the number is a design
number in this case, or maybe the case was re-used from another product
which was produced with serial number 0011 and had the touch screen but
a different type of electronics, and was cannibalized for usage of just
the screen and case for this one-off prototype.

Looking through your photos, I'm just wondering whether you put these
together out of your old junk box items rather than from newly ordered
parts, and if so, do you re-use them over and over again?

Maybe they started with 11? We don't sell many of things and
my boss likes to start the serial numbers at 100, so 101 is the first
produced.
