A PDP-8 or a PDP-8/S. Both were made with transistors alone.
PDP-8/S (filing cabinet)
BTW: I am building an Intel 4004 or possible an 8008 with flip chip modules.
Will tell you when I start it.

I'd say about the size of a HP 9100. But it
isn't a 8080 clone.

Say someone were to home-build a CPU from scratch using only individual
components, no ICs only modern descrete(?) components. How big would the
CPU be? For comparison lets say it would be an 8080 clone. Any guesses?
