[Beowulf] [EXTERNAL] server lift

[Prentice Bisbal]

We have one of these where I work:

https://serverlift.com/data-center-lifts/sl-350x/

I've never actually used it to install a server yet, but I have run it 
through its paces doing "dry runs" out of boredom, and I'd say it's 
nicer than any other server lift I've used.
