"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.
That said, it's a fun machine. And we have a second one, but that one have a few faulty power supplies...
