    8088 Clone

    Not a 5160 case as there is no IBM identification anywhere inside or outside. Also has slightly different power supply than 5160. I believe it was a 5160 clone that someone "Frankensteined" at some point since it has the wide black backplane Video and Floppy controller cards out of a 5150...

    8088 Clone
