    Wondering if anyone can dissect the system shown in this photo please and identify the components and era. It is likely the system is incomplete; its history has not been conveyed and we only have this image to work with.

    It's an A-Series of some vintage. Couldn't tell you which one.

    Well, the words "A Series" and "Processor" are a definite clue.
    Beyond that, I can't interpret the labels below the right-hand monitor.
    I last had physical access to our mainframes in 2004 so I don't know
    when Unisys moved from CRT monitors to flat screens, I think it was
    later than that.

    90's vintage, judging by the paint scheme

    I agree that it's an A11 or A14, but more probably an A11. It looks like
    it's just the central electronics module (CPU, I/O? memory?) at the base
    of the rack; can't tell what's in the middle of the rack except for the
    QIC drives. The right-hand monitor looks like a T27. The left-hand
    monitor is of a later vintage, but don't know the model.
