Went through this thought exercise many times 😀
- faster 486DX CPU, maybe Pentium 1
- 8-16MB RAM
- S3 Virge / Trio based GPU
- SB compatible sound card with real OPL3
- flash based storage, 2x2GB
- not too big, not too small, 11"-13"
- USB flash support, CF card slot
- internal Gotek
- relatively high DPI display for pixel perfect (or near perfect) scaling, lets say 4:3 1600x1200 (320x200 -> 1600x1200) + some hardware scalers
- buttons for brightness and volume
- paralel port, LAN
Im pretty close to this - I suggest starting with something like the 430hx agate MB, with built in wifi/ethernet and maybe 3-4 usb ports, so usb mouse/kb/thumb drives could all be used concurrently if desired. USB 2.p please. I'd prefer more like 32-48mb ram to keep the disk swapping low in win9x. And more bios options to take a 200mhz p1 and throttle the CPU down to 486 or 386 speeds even, for dos support. Built in SB16 support. 120gb hdd support.
Searching for Epson Actiontower 3000 486 PC.
