Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics or, more specifically, 3D computer graphics to special effects in art, films, television programs, commercials, simulators and simulation generally, and printed media. The visual scenes may be either dynamic or static. The term computer animation refers to dynamic images. 3D computer graphics software is used to make computer-generated imagery for movies, etc. Recent availability of CGI software and increased computer speeds have allowed individual artists and small companies to produce professional grade films, games, and fine art from their home computers. This has brought about an Internet subculture with its own set of global celebrities, clichés, and technical vocabulary.

Is the circuitry of the computer called the server?
No. While the term could mean a type of computer (which contains circuitry), the term server does not mean a computer's circuitry. The term has two interrelated definitions.For hardware, the term server means a computer providing services to other computers on a network. The computers receiving the service are referred to as 'clients'.For software, the term server means a piece of software on a computer that provides services to other networked computers. This software may require a a special corresponding 'client' software on the computers receiving the service. In other cases, the normal operating system may provide the necessary client or server software components, such as 'file sharing' and 'printer sharing'.In short, the term could refer either to the computer providing network services, or to the software installed on it for this purpose.The link below leads to a list of some general server types. Though the list is intended to be of hardware server types, the list is largely applicable to software servers as well.
