I'm jumping in a little late here, but was your required for a 486 based
on cost, power or is it technical?

The Mini-ITX form factor can be put in a case with HD, RAM and processor
for about $300. It's fanless with CPU speeds at 500MHz. It's an
integrated M/B with one PCI slot. The M/B is about $150 and comes with
CPU. $25 for RAM, $60 HD, and a case.
