No, I don't think the sides are wooden. I have one of these models
(http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/collection/challenger1.htm) and the
sides are metal.
They are very vintage in apparence and function and I've glad I've got one.
My oldest computer and the one that really started me collecting.

Ah! There I would disagree. The case is not in
half bad shape. If you
have Superboard you would like to mount, it could be just the thing for
you. That said, I think around $100 US is about the top of its value.
I had to google (I'm not at all familiar with OSI stuff), but it seems
that the keyboard is integral to the Superboard, right? So you'd basically
be paying for a bit of bent metal, wooden (?) sides and a PSU - and it's a
bit of bent metal which needs sanding down and repainting, at that (and
I've no idea if those decals come off easily!).
Considering it's $22 in shipping... anything seems like a lot to me :-)
