Scope and content
The CERN computer centre has hundreds of racks like these. They are over a million times more powerful than our first computer in the 1960's. This tray is a 'dual-core' server. This means it effectively has two CPUs in it (eg. two of your home computers minimised to fit into a single box). Also note the copper cooling fins, to help dissipate the heat.
