Try an 11/23. That's what I've got, and I run
the backplane off a
hacked-up AT power supply tied to the rails. One of these days, when
I find one in good condition, it'll go in a BA11 or BA23 (though if I
find a good BA23, I'll probably try to find something beefier to go
in it).
For now, though, it's pretty content in its bare 4x4 backplane (about
the size of a VCR) with a decent fan blowing through it. Easy enough
to contain for most people.
How much does a "bare" 11/23 do, however? What do you use for mass storage?
(I did say I was totally ignorant of PDPs.)
