Always entertaining to read about these stories.
The elevator shaft issue with the bigger computer was fun. We once rented some co-located space in a data center that had a small door and 19" servers couldn't pass without inclining them (which got tiring and stressful after a few servers, specially if we heard some loose component moving in the chassis). Nothing compared to having to modify the building for a different computer!
