I'm looking for a portable lunch-box size alpha box that will run OpenVMS 7.3 or a ATX motherboard that will run the same OS and fit in one of the available lunch-box ATX frames. Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

You want a Tadpole Alphabook !
Laptop sized VMS box, however OpenVMS 7.3 is the maximum version it can run (includes 7.3-1 released august 2002, and 7.3-2 due later this year).
You can also get modular Alpha systems, motherboard, CPU etc, very do-it-yourself. (Digital Modular Computing)
You could do a lot worse than a DS10, high power in a smallish form factor.
