I had a 486DX4-120 32MB running as my firewall / storage file server
at one time, I had a 2GB disc as a boot and root, and another 40GB
disc as everything else. The bios didn't recognise the 40GB disc but
Linux was able to find and use all of it.
I wish I still had that hardware, it cost almost nothing to run, was
quite capable and quiet. A Lightening storm took out everything but
the hard drive, even it is getting fussy now.

apartment it is.
