  You might be interested in my BSDI box, in that case - it's a 486DX2/66 w/
32Mb of memory (expands to 256Mb), 5Gb of disk, 1/4" and DAT tapes, CD-ROM,
2 floppies, etc. all in a case with redundant 900W power supplies and 18
disk bays. Last I looked, it weighed about 180 pounds. But, being big and
square I doubt it could be lifted by one person. Might be exactly what you're
looking for 8-)
