Well, there are PDP-8 and PDP-11 clone kits (google PiDP-8 or PiDP-11). They use a Raspberry Pi as their "brain", which would fit in an Altoids tin.
Almost *everything* has been put in an Altoid tin.
I had a mad idea to put one of those tiny 12vdc-to-120vac inverters that plug into an auto accessory (cigarette lighter) socket in an Altoids tin, along with 12v worth of rechargeable batteries and a small PV panel. When the sun shines on it, you have a "nuclear power plant" in an Altoids tin. :-)
