HP Vectra VL2.
Very sturdy machine, with 4 ISA slots and 486 overdrive compatible.
Mine works perfect for more than 15 years, I use it for the hp language processor board
and elv ic-tester.
While searching for "486" on eBay, the HP Vectras did appear visually attractive
to me. In particular, I see a 486/33 Vectra (not a VL2 model, though, I think) that has
only 3.5" bays, which looks downright cute. The lack of 5.25" bays isn't a
show-stopper, since I'd expect to run it case-open to plug in an 8" drive at
times, anyway.
Before I buy one, I want to be positive that the built-in floppy controller can be
disabled, though.
