So, its like an internet server type thing? Bet it also has some pretty quick render times though.

yea ya could call it internet servers, real internet server wouldnt look like that, they would just look like normal pc towers only bigger, But to make the Web design look better they design futuristic looking towers,

I'm not even sure if they are made in a 3d program. just thought i'd ask and see,

it really doesnt matter what the power is, it's just an Image, It's just to make the page design look better.

start with a polygon cube and start shaping - using subs to round bits off - should be very easy to do as there pretty primitive shapes

First things first!
Press F1 in Maya!
You should really start learning the basic of modeling and getting comfortable with the interface...
So study how polygon modeling works then learn NURBS and then get on SubDis!

Good luck!
