Much easier these days with blades and such. This is a Pureflex in our server room. Each node is running about 20 virtual servers on with a 40GB backplane between each and multpile interconnects down to the v700 drives, some of which you can see - 120TB of disk space. Each node has 768b ram. Anyone with a keen eye will see the P260 in the top right which only 20 years ago weighed a quarter of a ton and cost half a million pounds! All nice and neat. We have 18 cabs full of these.

My pet hate though is cabling from the patch panels to the switches to feed the building. There is just no excuse for it.

 

Here's one in one of the outbuildings I had to recable:

Which now looks like this:
