Unisys made a very small PC, approx the size of a DirecTV receiver.  I've 
got one that has a P100 and 16 MB ram.  Mine's got an onboard ethernet port 
as well.  There used to be a lot of them on ebay, as they were quite 
popular among the "Emu" community (think "pitou" and the DOS equivalents). 
Let's see if I can find one.....

Ahh here ya go....not the same thing as mine but similar....

P133, 256 RAM,  keyboard, mouse, monitor, and all $50 with 10 hours left.
