   The 300 and 330 part of VAX6300 and VAX6330 refer to number & speed 
of the processors.  If I'm not mistaken, they both live in the same type 
box.

   Rackmount VAX6000 cabinet:

   Plus you'd have the expansion cabinets - this chassis is just CPU & RAM.

   I understand that the rackmount VAX6000 is a lot less common than the 
full cabinets, but I've never seen the other.  I *think* the cabinet 
model is about the size of a DEC7000:

   There's no size reference there, but that cabinet is about 5'8" tall, 
36" deep, and about 40-42" wide.

   One of my friends will suffer apoplexy if you score a rackmount 6330....
