computers, laughing..
They certainly leave their mark! :-)

Nice pictures, they make me feel like a total amateur
having "only"
moved a 11/70 (two cabinets) and a Alphaserver(one cabinet). And in
both
cases used a truck with a lift.
Those lifts are nice sometimes, but they are not without their
problems. Most of them have a very steep ramp of about 3-4" at the
very edge that big racks have trouble with. Also, they "jerk" when
motion starts...cranking down the racks' feet or strapping them down
is a must.
between-the-garage-doors columns on my house. I then drove the truck
forward, an inch or so at a time, running back every time to check on
things, until the rearmost pallet was nearly off the truck.
neat trick :) scary one too. The E10K was
the last to come off the truck. It was still
unbelievably heavy even after the removal of all hot-swappable
I was not participating myself, but heard some scary stories from when
the computer club moved a E10K into the server room. I allways giggle
when I see the two very visible dents in the sill from the E10K
wheels.
