Real PDP11 model question

Not really. The smallest box (available from DEC) into which one could place a PDP-11 was the Shoebox (SB-11, or BA11-VA, if I remember correctly) which was about a foot wide and about 9 inches deep. It had a 4slot backplane (4x2, Q, AB side only) and a power supply. This was enough to put together a CPU (11/2, KDF11-A, KDJ11-A), memory, serial lines, bootstrap (MXV11-B), network card (DEQNA or DELQA) and a disk interface (RQDX3). It was not meant for housing the actual disk.. that would have to be another box.
