On this note, if you point me toward an 8650 (or any other large

I'll happily grab it and run it, at least periodically, at the Large

"Grab" is not a word I would use in the context of an 8650... :-)
Probably around 500 kilos or so, and a couple of large cabinets. It
requires 3 phase power, and the power system differs between US and
European models.
It wouldn't be anywhere near the heaviest computer here. ;)
Fair enough. I still would not "grab" it. A truck with a lift is a
requirement. And essentially a flat floor to roll the thing along.
Yes. Thank you Johnny, but please, I am not new at this.
