   I believe all of the older ones require 3-phase power, which makes 
them a bit of a pain...but even the very oldest, the G1 machines, 
aren't all that big mainframe-wise.  One extra-super-deep (and very 
heavy) rack for the CPU.

   (eeek, scary flashbacks to moving that machine...when it starts 
rolling in a listing truck, there's no stopping it!)
