That's better, and will allow us to put "3rd blue plug from the left,
4th row down" in there someday :)

All of this is "relative" to the CPU, right?  But what CPU?  Again, how
are the systems with drawers of PCI and CPUs and memory that can be
added/removed at any point in time being handled here?  What is
"internal" and "external" for them?

What exactly is the physical boundry here that is attempting to be
described?
