>>So, I was thinking.... How big is a PDP-9?

Actually in that picture, the PDP-9 is the 'silver' unit mounted directly
above the shelf on the far left of the cabinets. That's really all the
PDP-9 is. The rest of the other are drives and (looks like an oscilloscope)
unknown stuff.

By my faulty memory, the actual computer is about 2.5'W x 1'H x 2.5L.
Warning, they are HEAVY!
