You have what is known as a "PC2000".  (it's in a mini-tower case?)
These were produced by IBM for a major contract (I think it may have
been the MoD) but the deal fell through and the machines were sold off
on the open market.  Time Computers bought a load of them and sold them
under the 'Colossus' brand.

They're not particularly good or reliable machines.
