No problem. Put in in the front or back yard in a make-shift shelter
and just use it in the winter, attaching ducts and fans to your house
to save on your heating bill (if you heat via natural gas, oil, coal
or wood). :-)

No problem. A call yo your utility company can get you more
power. :-)

No problem. That's what office movers are for. Better yet,
pretend to be a property owner and call a refuse company to "empty"
the dumpster... that is, into a waiting truck a few miles away.

No problem. Just use an RL02 cartridge as a shield. :-) ..or grab the
broom away from him and pretend you're insane, while offering him a
bribe.

Ok, I can't argue with that. ...Although you can add blinkenlights to
the IBM system, as there's plenty of sheet metal there to drill holes
for light sockets into. :-) :-) :-)
