[GhettoRacingKid]

hmmmm ok

is it a cpu tester for when they are being made?

a CPU fan base

the what look to be sliding pieces throws me off and the first pic is wow.

 

[phinz]

It is not a tester of any sort, nor is it a fan base. I've already given the answer, minus 4 letters.

[MomsKitchenAndStuff]

What? No guesses yet?? Okay...the city is DC.

[MomsKitchenAndStuff]

No not a hotel. Here's another clue: this building is on 13th street.

 

[les]
