I have three of these units which I have

trailer I pull behind. The frame is very sturdy (built like a tank)
but if I was to tip it to transport it, I would take a picture and label
the boards and then remove them for travel. The skins themselves are
fairly heavy. The unit isn't really top or bottom heavy (in my opinion
only) it seems more center heavy (cards and drives located more towards
the center. I would probably leave the supplies in it.
Only my two cents.
My experience has been the opposite, actually. Every single server move
I've done where we opted to leave things in the rack has had something
shake loose or, rarely, outright break. I've had to replace motherboard
because some trace got severed somewhere. So my personal opinion is to
derack the entire thing if you can.
