Computers are usually built so that even the largest easily fit in the height of a standard room with space to spare, so that special building construction is not required.
The tallest that I have read about were perhaps a bit over 8 feet.
IBM even has a rule that every cabinet making up a computer they build must fit through the width and height of a standard door! They implemented this rule in the late 1940s after encountering unforeseen problems on some early one of a kind calculating machines that forced them to pay to have doorways at the customer's site removed to install the machines then rebuild replacement identical doorways once finished.
The tallest modern computers do not even have cabinets, but are built in place to fit the size of the existing room on racks. These racks are assembled from pre-drilled and tapped steel rails, then pre-assembled computer boxes about the size of microwave cookers are slid into the racks, bolted in place, and then wired together.
