Answer
The first ELECTRONIC computer (ENIAC) consisted of several rooms full of racks filled with vacuum tubes, wiring, and relays. You could walk down aisles "through" the computer which seems a strange concept given today's technology! It used a tremendous amount of electricity, generated a tremendous amount of heat, and had frequent failures.
It is possible to argue that Charles Babbage's Difference Engine was perhaps the first computer (though it was mechanical not electronic, see: http://www.answers.com/topic/difference-engine?cat=technology
Possibly the first successful programmable (by wiring), electronic, computer was the Colossus Computer built in Bletchley Park
