Well Richard, my plan is to screw a LARGE eyebolt into the top of a
floor joist in line with my stairs, lay down some 2x12 planks as a
ramp, and use a come-along (ratcheting cable hoist thingy) to gently
lower my big computers down the stairs... Hopefully, the 780 will be
one of them.

I haven't determined yet if the main floor in my house will support
an 1100 lbs system, but I'm hopefull :)
