Look for a BA23 solution then.
Cheap, available, supportable, complete.
You can get the skin that makes it look like a largish tower box too.
Use another PC/laptop with a VT100 terminal emulator for the console terminal.
DEC console terminals generally only support software flow control (XON/XOFF),
, make sure your HP terminal will do that.
With the PC, sometimes you have to jumper CTS<->RTS and DTR<->DSR on the PC
side.
Later, if you like the system (and your wife can abide it),
get a SCSI card and add a SCSI tower for more storage, different OS etc.
