The box is white with the cheap looking Compupro badge on it. There is no
Model # or information on it.
><Anyone know anything about this box?

Thanks, how about a generic answer more like this:
"It is probably an S-100."
"Open it and look for:"
"XXXX Processor.. this is a CP/M machine."
"XXXX Processor.. This is a Super-whammodyne-OS machine."
"A Blah blah card."
"You will find the model Number on a badge under the left side, blah blah
blah."
Even this would be a better generic answer:
"Don't waste your time or floor space, Godbout was a moron and his company
built junk".
On a more serious note, I looked inside and there was:
A Z-80 cpu card.
2 cards with 512K on them and were labled Disk something.
A wire wrapped (home-brew looking) card that looks like the 8" drive
interface.
Another card covered with 6116 Ram chips.
An unidentified card.
There were 2 External 8" drives
