From the "Around this day 20 years ago" - Fully populated Forece10 e1200 chassis in the core of an HPC system from when I worked at NCSA.
These boxes were very ahead of their time, we were a really early customer, so much that we worked with them on features. Not much of anything had the density these things had. I recall one particular upgrade (moving from vxworks to NetBSD on the line cards) took upwards of 25 minutes. Nothing beat the cable tray, though
