I don't believe it.

I have bought from Sun King and they are OK, but a $10 bill says that upper case shell is plastic.

The bottom panel is metal.

It's the AT that's all plastic except the internal plates.

Yeah, metal bottom plate, plastic top. Only worth something if you're willing to convert that odd layout
