The name on the case says Nobilis. It's an Intel mother board with a 
Pentium III (Coppermine) processor. There's a slot for a second 
processor. Mylex Corporation DAC960RP (rev. 5) RAID bus controller. 
Adaptec AIC-7896U2/7897U2 Storage controller. [ Lists that twice so a 
second controller???] Cirrus Logic video and C-Media audio. It has a 
front pluggable six disk SCSI rack with a pretty substantial circuit 
board and two fans. Colorado Tape drive and floppy drive. That's about 
all I can  really tell you about it.
