I have seen machines like this for cash registers from that era. Clunky but neat when fixed and cleaned up.

On a far away planet reading your posts in the year 10,191.

Just looks like a small LPX system to me.

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.

I've tried to find more info on it, but nothing at all. I am wondering is it upgradeable at all.
Also from the second image it seems it has Solid Capacitors.

It has at least 2 ISA (VLB?) slots. Expansion cards are mounted horizontally into a riser card.

yeah that i understand, but i am thinking more in ways of memory and CPU.
Since its a 486 i doubt its fixed to 640k. Dunno, if the thing doesn't go high in price we will find out 😀

It would appear to be an Intel LP486 Professional Workstation.

Why did you resurrect a thread from 2013 ...its nearly 10 years old, heck not yet old enough to be retro either 😜

Necromancy is no bueno.
