My S/390 9672-RC4 fit nicely through the door of my apartment...but 
there was still some pain maneuvering it once inside.  I don't think 
it'd fit through the door to the house I'm living in right now (and my 
landlord would *definitely* get upset if I had to enlarge the door to 
fit.  Fortunately, it can reside in the garage, but that's getting a 
bit full at the moment.
