As we say around here, "where there's a will, there's a way"...

If you really want one of these SGI boxes, I recommend that
you contact the seller (he is not me),  and ask him if he is willing
to drop off the computer at a nearby UPS Store.
This chain is in the business of packaging items for shipping.
They are not cheap, but it might solve your problem.  However,
UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. are primarily in the business of shipping
items that can be lifted by a single person.  If the computer weighs
more than about 100 lbs, then you would need to contact a freight
expediting service or a moving company and make arrangements
for palletizing, consolidation and surface transport.

Good luck.
