"Rhode Island Computer Museum: Digital Equipment PDP-8/S, S/N 517" - "The PDP-8/S ... was designed by Saul P. Dinman and was the first CPU to cost less than $10,000. It ... does not contain any integrated circuits. Just the processor contains 1001 transistors."
"A relay PDP-8 ?" is a paper design by Joe Allen for a 227-relay computer implementation that executes the PDP-8 instruction set.
