How much space would a system like this take, and what kind of power is
required to feed it? :)

I'd like a Nova, but I've so far not been courageous enough to think
seriously about moving one from Vancouver to Montreal. :)

I know nothing about minis. My entire collection consists of

the house in case something goes wrong. (My conscience does not handle
damaging classic computer equipment well.)
