I've moved a pair of these machines by myself without proper equipment, and thus at great personal risk, to my old place a few years ago. I did so out of necessity. The story (with pics) is here: http://www.neurotica.com/wiki/Sun_Fire_6800_Unload DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I could very easily have gotten killed in that operation. "Regular" racks are one thing...these weigh well over half a ton, and are a different matter entirely. Well, I'll stick it in the room where a piano used to sit. It should hold there. ;) (Also no need for stairs, then.) Measure the doorways. I have to rent special trucks to move 6800s due to their height. If memory serves, they are 76" tall. I think that would barely fit. Maybe i'll want to build a little shed for it. ;) I could also fairly easily rig something up with a switch to change between that and the oven, then...as nowhere else would I have minimum 30A service save for upstairs and the air conditioner. ;) You'll have to do more than that. That machine has FOUR 230V 30A power cables. It can run on two. That would be a bit harder to manage. ;) Getting to 230V is easy. Getting to 230V with 30A each is harder. -Dave -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects
