I have a couple of PS/2e (9533) boxen that have approximately those
dimensions, but mine has a laptop-thin floppy in the right bay, and four
PCMCIA slots in the left (there were models without the PCMCIA). These
are very useful low-power machines. (I use one for a wireless gateway to
my home LAN). They also had an optional flat-panel display.
