I guess it's some specialised box as it has a PIO 48 card, and seems to be an sbc in a backplane. But its interesting to see all the ports, drive bays and even the power socket on the same side of the case. There are times when half a dozen cases like this would be really useful 😉. Mind you, looking at the thickness of the steel plate they would have to have all the twiddly bits on the front, you wouldn't want to have to shift them very often 🤣.

I hacked a case together like that before... I think I was about 18 years old at the time.
Of course that case is now in pieces all over the place now, but it's kinda funny when you see someone else do the same thing that you thought of as well.
