Re: Bit risky...
Ever since I have had a healthy respect for tons of equipment balanced on machine room floors.
One place I worked, we bought a number of (fully pre-populated) racks of Compaq servers. Sadly, the company that were (supposedly) a professional company, had managed to build them all with the (long-life and therefore very heavy) UPS units at the top of the racks.
We forced them to send their build staff to our site so that they could redo the build. They tried to charge us, we countered with the threat of a full HSE investigation.
Strangely enough, the rebuild happened at no charge to us.
