Looks kind of high spec...workstation/server tower
Is it an AT tower or ATX?

it's an awesome case. it is Baby AT, AT, ATX and Micro ATX. it's fully modular almost everything is removable even the 5.25 and 3.5 bays are removable. It's very tough it has some rather nice quality steel and it even has a cross bar and the ability the mount the PSU upside down or right side up.
boss told me they were made by asus but, i think they would be marked in that case and they aren't i don't know the brand or model but, they sure seems nice especially being from the late 90's. So does any one know the brand or model?

Almost looks like something Alienware used in the 90's.

As your boss said, and as keropi said, and as I can confirm once again, it was made by Asus. Specifically, it's from their old ElanVital line, model T-10AB.
An archived link to the product page.
Oh, and it's good you like it, because it wasn't particularly well received back in the day.
Edit: OT, but, what the hell is with the backslash that shows up in front of apostrophes in a link text?

i don't mind the buttons boss said you can mod so is just a straight push button. And THANK YOU SO MUCH for that bit of info it was nagging me i'm surprised they had a bad rep they may not have front panel connections or the coolest looks but, It's sturdy and well built. It's something i would mind putting in the mail.
it looks like the review was complaining that was to hard to take out a screw and lift the panel off and super duper hard to pull off the cross bar. What bunch of panzys. I'm gonna read up on this case.
EDIT: does any body know what the rectangular piece of plastic with arrow shaped holes is for? Also the case in the pcstats review has an ugly bezel.
Also found this bit of info
"The T10 is made by ASUS (They own Elan Vital as I understand), and made
exactlly to fit the P2B or I forget the earlier LX, and BX models.
Apparetnly they ship with two different power supplies, the Sparkle Power
ones blow out. Anyone know who makes the ones that blow in? Or are they
Sparkle's as well? On my BH6, the mounting hole in the corner, closest to
the keyboard/mouse connector, does not line up to be able to put in a screw.
Anyone else have this problem, or irritation should I say...hey its the
small things...like holes not lining up that really bothers me. But again
thats the only hardware problem I have with the whole system..not bad eh? 😀

That explains a lot actually.

i found the hdd slot above the PSU has great ventilation if you flip the PSU up said down with the fan facing up it's be great for laptop drive or those thin seagate barracudas so long as it doesn't get to close to hamper the air flow the fan.
I may just buy the other 3 or 4 Elan Vital T-10ABs amd keep them. I'm on the fence on weather to keep this project and sell my other core duo machine in the inwin case.
for case from the 90's it has great ventilation even the design of the fan holes and locations most case have lots of tine holes punched in the metal witch almost completely cuts off the air flow where the T-10AB has an extruded grill shape.
The fact that it's extruded a centimeter from the fan it's self is much less restricting ANNNDDD reduces noise. The closer you get a surface to the fan the noisier it and gets and the less air flow.
I can't believe they had the nerve to call it over designed it's not even complicated at all. I can't think of one con they gave it that still sticks to this day., half of wich weren't even real cons.
