Al,
Are you confusing MicroVax and VaxStation? As far as I can see the largest VaxStation was
the Model 76 which did come in the larger case, but I can't find any reference to
MicroVax in tower cases.

There's a few sizes of 3100. The case used commonly in the m10/m20, then
the double height jobs that took affair 6 drives, then the towers used in the
m88's etc. Probably more.. I'm sure someone will correct me.

Tony,
Oddly I am installing VMS on a Vaxstation 3100 so had some web pages about
it open. This one has the dimensions...
http://vaxarchive.org/hardware/vs3100/dsvs3100.html
System Model 30
Dimensions
Height 10.33 cm (4.07 in)
Width 46.38 cm (18.26 in)
Depth 39.42 cm (15.52 in)
Weight 11.4 kg (25 lb)
but wouldn't a 2000 be a better form factor?

From the technical manual
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/vax/2000/

Hi,
sorry to bother you all with none net related things, but I reckoned
this was the most likely place to get an answer. Does one of you own a
VAXstation
3100 or similar? I'm looking for the external dimensions so I can whip
up a small scale replica case to house a Raspberry Pi inside. I could
go by guesswork and memory, but I'd rather do it right.
Thanks,
Tony
