Firstly, awesome work @Damien image uploads appear to be working!
This is the original Sega Saturn prototype shell/enclosure. This first appeared at the winter CES of 1994 and pictures appeared in magazines after. It’s rather small compared to the retail unit (shown side by side in one of the attached images), and certainly would not have accommodated the VA0 mainboard and CD drive. I rather like the shape though. The concavity kind of reminds me of the XB360 ‘inhale’ design theme... and whether intentional or not that black inverted trapezoid is somewhat ... pubic ?
The design patent has expired but the image in that document is near identical with the exception of no cart slot.

Looking at how jam packed the motherboard is though I'm amazed they fit everything in.
