I remember a computer my school had, it was huge, had like 10 or 12 things that looked like server racks. When you turned it on, all the lights would dim. TRW gave it to the school, it had thousands of tubes that made it work. it took a half hour to warm up. and you know what? all it did was Plot Graphs! lol
