  The interior of a VAX-11/750 CPU cabinet is a 19" rack, yes, but the
cabinet is about 7" (or so) wider than that.  There'a big gap on
the left where cables and the [optional] battery backup mounts.

  It really is about the same size/shape as the average washing
machine.  And very pretty.  And very classy.  And...man I like
'750s! :-)
