Well, there are big PDP11s, like the 1145 I have in 2 6' racks. And there 
are small PDP11s. A BN23 cabinet is not much larger than a tower PC. A 
BA11V is about the size of 2 laptops stacked up (but it rather restricts 
you on what CPU board you can have, and you only have a total of 4 slots).

And a Professional 300 series machine has a PDP11 CPU chipset inside, 
albeit with a strange I/O bus. And that's about the size of a PC/AT box

So you probably could accomodate a PDP11 if you needed to.
