WHAT does it look like? How come you never see any photos of this stuff? Where is it located? I mean the actual CPU that processes our electronic orders.. central processing unit, server.. whatever you wish to call it, the actual exchange itself, how big is it?

It is so amazing to find a public photo of the CPU that actually processes all those trades.

Just a minor point, it's from 1984, but I'm sure they still have a Central Processing Unit, and this should give a good idea of what it looks like today.

It's going to look more impressive now. That picture is from 1984, for reference this is what the cutting edge home computer looked like in 1984.

Must at least have golden floors and sealings - considering the exchange fees they're charging and multiplied by millions of contracts per day....
