There is the unisys computer, but you can forgive about having a CD drive in this (you have built-in ethernet though wich is nice). And there is only one expansion slot wich will probably be taken by the sound card. And that sound card musn't be too long

There are a couple of brands that come to mind: NCR System 3230, and the HP Vectra VL, VL2 (486 and Pentium flavors), and N series. I personally own a HP Vectra VL2 4/50se, and it's a very nice compact computer with 4 ISA expansion slots.

NCR System 3230

HP Vectra VL2

HP Vectra 486N

Oh I have an HP vectra 486 / VL 33

Seems to be quite an unusual machine in comparison to other VL (even though it hasn't anything special)

The only problem that I had is that I never managed to find the 5'1/4 brackets so when I used a CD drive it was just hanging in the hole ... Could be nice to know what it needs

It's part # D2880A - It's a 5.25" rail kit (5 pairs). I just found a box on Ebay and bought it. Do you live in the States? I could possibly send you a pair once I get the box.

Not at all, I live in france (I think that I've read somewhere, on the rare pages mentioning this computer that it was made specifically for france and so that's why that model is rare)

But I once bought a floppy drive coming from some computer from HP wich came with it's own brackets wich are the same as the one on my HP vectra, so I've got now 2 pairs. Are they the same thing ?

I am not sure. This is what the seller's photo shows:

Okay it's not ...

Anyways let's focus on the author's question ^^

Good example: http://www.lanterne-rouge.info/article-les-av … -109107735.html

Maybe This? It says 486 in the title but it's clearly a Late Pentum MMX.

Siemens-Nixdorf PCD-4ND (its a laptop and has VGA out) or PCD-4L desktop

Else you could always convert an old thin client if you need something really small, but then its not an actual 486 or Pentium

There are a couple Unisys systems in numerous quantities available.

Thanks guys. Those Unisys system are pretty close to the size I'm looking for. Having 2 expansion slots would be nice, but the onboard nic will be handy and can be used inplace of a cd drive.

But I don't really dig the look.

Whoa... that belongs in the strange eBay auction thread. Never seen anything like that before; what on earth was that?

Those were a thing back then, basically laptop components in a desktop keyboard.

Note that that one is a Cx486SLC - not exactly what I'd go for if I were looking for something between 486 and Pentium era.

That's just about perfect if I could use the keyboard withy my 604 setup. it is a little dated for that I'm looking for. I'll have to keep an eye out for systems like that.
