Yup. This style of clone case was popular in Germany. I have two in cases
like this one but the cases were smashed all to hell when they were mailed
to me from Germany. The top flips up to show the internals but it's hard to
replace parts because they soldered wires from the cards (video for example)
to the case. Both of my AT Case clones were very generic but I like the
external keyboards. The power supply plugs stick out of the hole that would
normally have the big PC/AT on-off switch on the side. The layout works well
enough, and it's nice and roomy inside but it annoyed me that so much was
soldered together when simple connectors would have worked better.
Is yours working?
