I thought the 4000 as also BA42 (18Wx16Dx4H) like most of the 3100s
(save for M20E). I consider the BA42 box easily hid.

You
don't need a monitor, keyboard or mouse. It's quite possible to
run one with a serial console, so if you have any machine with a
serial port, a terminal emulator program and a null-modem cable,
you're in business.
Get a MicroVAX 3100 like the one I have. Small footprint, and it's
IMPOSSIBLE to connect a monitor and keyboard to it, because it has no
frame buffer.

The 4000/60 and 4000/90 are similar in size to the 3100. The 4000/vlc
is *much* smaller. If I'm not quite mistaken, there was once a design
for a VAX laptop using a 4000/vlc motherboard. If you really want to
know what chassis it's in, I can dig out the info.
