I think it is just a simple "tower case" for

tower case that was intended for something like the Dec Professional

At least I assume it is not some sort of TEMPEST case, but that would
be my second guess.
Before there were tower cases for PC, people still wanted the blessed
great hulking AT cases off their desktops. Check an Inmac catalog of
the time and you'll see various arrangements for converting an AT
case to a floor-mounted "tower". Some were very cheap; little more
than a plastic stand; others were more substantial.

P.S. You do remember Inmac, don't you? Lots of interesting stuff
for the office/commercial PC user, all overpriced. But they'd build
cables for you and some of the most curious gizmos.
