Why stop at 1? Many of them are pretty small. The
4000 is a decent
"office/desk-side" size model; it sits on casters, but it's smaller
than a lot of mini-fridges.
The microVAXen and later machines haven't caught my interest yet. A friend of mine
used to have a 725 and a 730, and I thought both of them were neat. Especially the 730.
The 11/44 is a nice machine. It's the last true
Unibus model (as
opposed to the /84 and /94, which used the Unibus adaptor). It can
be pretty stoutly configured, and the power supply is generally
fairly reliable.
Yeah, and it's also a suitable machine to be mated up with the RL02 drives I'd
like to get, as I understand it.

There's presently
a VAX 8300 and RA81 on it, but it could take a VAX-11/750 with no
problem.
If your home _doesn't_ have that kind of power, time to get to work. ;-)
Oh, I already have plumbed in a 30A 120V twist-lock and a 20A 240V twist-lock, though
they're not in the room that I'd like to put the computers in. Here's why I
added circuits like that; one of my other addictions:
