With some of the stuff we run you should consider weight. These things are
heavy (even a stack of sparcstations can add up to a lot). The dead load in
an average room should not be above 1000 pounds for most construction.

I keep stuff in the cellar. If I didn't have a machine-friendly cellar
(dry), I would choose a first floor room and add a few lally columns and
beams in the cellar under the room (this is what I did for my 3 ton hot
tub).

I would not want to be reincarnated as a sill plate or joist in Dave's
house.
