Ever wonder how well the IMSAI 8080esp duplicates the look of the original machine? Well, take a look - the answer is, it looks almost EXACTLY like the original. In fact, it's somewhat better.

I'm sorry for the reflections - it was hard to minimize them in the picture. 

Front.jpg is a straight-on view. Pretty amazing, I'd say.

Side.jpg shows the relative depth of the two machines. Even the vent holes match!

Plastic warp.jpg shows how some of the covers inside the original machine have warped with time. The LED covers and labeling in the esp version are, in my opinion, better than the original.

Looks like the Plastic Warp picture got left out of the original post - so here it is.
