My S/390 9672-RC4 fit nicely through the door of my apartment...but
there was still some pain maneuvering it once inside. I don't think
it'd fit through the door to the house I'm living in right now (and my
landlord would *definitely* get upset if I had to enlarge the door to
fit. Fortunately, it can reside in the garage, but that's getting a
bit full at the moment.

Well I picked up the cray today, I'm not an
expert but it looks
like it's either got 4 or 5 processors. It also seems to have
around 30 4gb hard drives. But there was one main problem it
wouldn;t fit through the door in my flat.

modules no wider than a standard door ... should have gone for one of
