There was no outer box. OEM units come in plastic sacks.

But it did say Sony on the unit itself. And the BIOS reported Sony.
And Win2K reported Sony.

There is no doubt that was a Sony unit. Yet Sony disowned it. They
claimed because it was an OEM unit, they did not have any
responsibility for it. In fact there wasn't even a model number for it
anywhere on the Sony database.

However once Sony put its name on it and especially once it programmed
the firmware, it became a Sony branded unit, regardless of its OEM
history.
