4400's have the words PowerPC just to the left of the floppy slot as well as ventilation holes below the leading edge of the machine on the front. I doubt this pic is one of a 4400. The picture had been flopped. If you notice, the on/off switch for the monitor is also on the left.

I had heard of 6800's as in processors (but only vaguely, and in passing) but was more curious about the Powermac 6800/180's You're not thinking of the 6400/180? I've never heard of a PowerMac 6800. Non-US model maybe? Peace Aqua -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
