I have a box that is about 16"x16"x4", case, power supply, the works. 3 slots, built in VGA, etc. At the time, this was "just about an exact fit". I have a 386sx/16 motherboard, too. Much smaller footprint. If somebody can come up with a riser card and a very compact power supply, I could probably hit something like 16"x8"x2" (haven't measured it). If space is *really* short, maybe a microcontroller with Ethernet. I am willing to work on this with someone. _IF_ there's any interest. ...
