I still have a few PS/ValuePoints laying around.  I don't know which
ones I still have, I am pretty sure they are all 486 DX2 66 or they have
Pentium Overdrives.  I've used various ValuePoints for years as routers,
and for a while as X terminals (at the time, running their applications
on a dual celeron).

They were rather sturdy machines, and the cases were fairly smallish.
