Looks like an IBM AT 5170, which was a 286 at 6 or 8MHz. Maybe it had a replacement XT motherboard installed?

I don't know if the computer was stock at all. Interesting to know that the 5170 didn't come with the 8088 CPU installed. Might have had a replacement board installed, yes. I don't know why the downgrade though, because I remember it clearly being a 4.77 Mhz 8088 CPU. It later got "upgraded" to a 286, then a 386 SX-25 and a 486 DX2/66.

Also, it did not have an graphics adapter. It could only display the output color green (not with the monitor pictured).

I'm more interested in the jigsaw. Do you remember what it was of?

Yes, most certainly. It has a sad story behind it too.

An old woman I knew owned it and gave it to me. When she was a kid she sleepwalked and fell out of a window and busted up both her legs, so she was restrained to a wheelchair, and as far as I can remember she lost her son when he was quite young (it was his puzzle) and then she gave some of his things to me.

The title was "The new Datsun Cherry", and it was a picture of a brand spanking new Datsun Cherry in front of a bar.

The (non-english speaker here. Please bear with me) motive of the picture was the painting:

What do you mean? Usually the images I've seen of IBM personal computers, they have two 5'25" drives next to eachother, while in this setup one is above the other (vertical).

Or perhaps it's not an IBM at all?
I know a friend of mine had a V20 clone back in the day, and it was in an AT-like case, such as this one.

I never thought about that. I did have original IBM software that came with it, however the BIOS did not show the IBM logo at all. I was just thinking it might have been due to the monochrome display.
