I'll let you know if I come up with an 802H. Do you know if it looks the
same as the 803? I'm really into the nostalgia value of having a machine
that has that distinctive 803/1603 styling.
You are talking about that vertical column to the right that held drives
and motherboard with the tippable monitor to the left? No, the 802H does
not look like that, It is the classic monitor/drives in a box. Separate
keyboard, as I recall. Nothing special from an appearance standpoint.

Don's right. I have the 802H manual in front of me and the 802H is a
short wide box with a built-in 12" CRT on the right and a FH 5 1/4" floppy
drive mounted horizontaly on the left. The drive is mounted near the the
top and it looks like there's room for another drive below it. The front
that surrounds the drive and CRT and the drive itself appear to be black
and the rest of the case looks like it's a cream color. The Televideo
nameplate is centered below the CRT. The whole thing has a definite offset
appearance. The keyboard is separate. It's face and keys are black and the
case is the same cream color. The manual gives the dimensions as 7 1/4"
tall, 17 1/2" wide and 16 7/8" deep. It weighs 44 pounds. I can provide
other details if anyone needs them.
I'd like to have a 802H, if anyone comes across one let me know.

but I have the idea of taking one of them and
replacing the guts with a standard PC motherboard/hd/ram/power supply
That's sacraledge!
