  The DECsystem-2020 was introduced as "the word's lowest cost mainframe computer system." It was DIGITAL's least expensive and last 36-bit computer system. The system's low cost was made possible by a state-of-the-art packaging technology that allowed the entire system to fit in a single cabinet measuring five feet high by two feet wide by three feet deep.
