Nice.

It is clean on the inside. A very thin coating of dust.

As far as the hardware itself ...

There is nothing in the left-side drive bay, just the dual floppy drive 
in the right-side bay.

There is a memory expansion board (how can one determine its size?) and 
the board that the floppy drive connects to (is it all floppy controller?).

That's it.

Is there anything that I should check on it before I connect it to power?
