The 370/168s were the most-space-consuming if I recall. Out 370/168MP with dual sets of outboard channel boxes was impressive. Of course the largest I/O device will always be the 3850 B4 - IBM's honeycomb hideout... :-)

I still get a charge out od seeing the classic 3270 terminal display - even on current systems. Those bad old dinosaurs are sure hard to extinct-i-ficate!

I worked for Big Blue for 18 years: 1979-1996.

Made my quota one year on a halon-drop; replaced over seven million dollars worth of hardware due to a false fire alarm!!!
