Amstrad PC4386SX (http://turrican30.free.fr/Vignettes%20Amstrad … 204386%20sx.JPG - linked image is not my own, just one found quickly on line to get this reply out). The CRT pictured is the one the machine shipped with and measures 10" just to give you an idea of the scale.
You have my sympathy if you ever have to work on one. It's compact size coupled with being an Amstrad means almost all of the guts are proprietary and nigh on impossible to find replacements for now.
There were a couple of recent LGR videos with small retro PCs - the Unisys CWD-4002 and the Proxim RangeLAN2 Access Point.
Unisys had some tiny systems. so small a awe64 gold would not fit in them.
but the 64value would 😀

Not the one I had. I could hardly get the smaller version of the 64 gold to fit with mods. Even then I had to cut into the card and removed the CD drive headers to prevent it from getting in the way of the hdd.
The system was so small the base for my 19" CRT would over lap the case.
From my own collection:
* Amstrad PC7486
* Tandy RL/HD
* Schneider Tower AT
I recently bought a unisys 486/66, that's a very tiny machine. I am thinking what small ISA soundcard would be best for it.
