Well, I know it's an old computer with an Oak Technologies chip in it, due to the start up screen but I don't have a keyboard so it wont go any further, But I got it for free and I am Ecstatic about it... I just don't know what "it" is.

It's an old IBM PC, I believe. Likely running DOS or a DOS-based architecture.

Oak Tech made sound cards a looooong time ago. Probably a 386 or 486.

Interesting it has a 3.5" drive but not a 5.25" or CDROM drive.

That would place this PC around '90-'91.

I think so too. Maybe '92. Just from guessing on these outside pictures, I would guess it's likely this was a budget machine used in an office.
That might be a game port on there, which is nice and would make this a workable, period accurate, gaming machine.
Can you open it up and take pictures of the inside?

So now that I see the inside.....I know nothing
In second picture up ^ on the left side, near were the power goes into the motherboard, there seems to be a bit of corrosion. There is also something which has power going to it, right above a blue thing (huge capacitor?)
In one of your first pictures, of the backside, in the middle, at the bottom, there is a quarter sized circle. Looks like it might be a cover to the powered item. Can you pull off the cover? What does that look like?
Oh, and there is a manufactured date on the power supply, what does it say?

I'm still going to go with Dukes', Shadow's and my guesses earlier but, I'm sorry to say, all those extra pictures I had you take doesn't help me out because I just don't know enough.
Back then, there were so many different computer builds and parts that did the same things could look so different from one another....

All the Info I got from looking in it is:
Morex Power Supply Mfg Date: 81. 5, 30; 110V/220V Switchable
Oak Technologies OTIVGA TX2953526 Sound Card (c) 1991
Goldstar Prime 2

That port nupoile had you uncover looks to me like it should be where the keyboard plugs in (with a 5 Pin DIN) but it wouldn't make sense to run power that that connector. Can you tell where those wires run? Other than that I don't see any place a keyboard would plug in.
That Goldstar Prime 2 looks like a standard ISA multi IO card. It handles the hard drive, floppy, serial, parallel, and joystick/midi ports. Before everything was put on-board that was what most systems had.
