I checked the label on my box. On the serial number sticker, it says "DPENM P600/128/100". Another label says "ENP600". On the rear, it says Series PD1006. Has the usual Windows 2000 and Intel inside stickers. There's a 500 MHz one at RG: https://www.recycledgoods.com/compaq-dpenm-p500-deskpro-en-series-pd1006-tower/ So definitely Compaq EN series, just not the one folks are used to seeing. FWIW, Chuck
