    They do. I've moved my Origin 2000 around quite easily (2 modules/16
    CPUs). To lift it in and out of a truck, though, I removed the side
    panels, took the PSUs out, and then the upper and lower modules. That
    way, I can just about manage it on my own (but better to have two, for
    the modules).
