From what I recall, the Model 12 and 16 systems were
about the size of a modern 19 or 21 inch CRT, and that
was the entire system - monitor, keybd, CPU and
floppies all built together more or less.
Hard drives
would hang off the back IO bus adapter or possibly
could be mounted internally.
How do you "hang" PC XT sized HDs off the back ?

The old Model 1 dual diskette system may have had
more
'sprawl' factor. It's been 20+ years since I last used
one of those. My Model 4 is a small sized box tho.
But you're right - this is a lot of stuff!
