moving racks of equipment from datacenter A to datacenter B

We've been forced to move from one datacenter to another, due to
datacenter's closure. (for those curious, Intel/Savvis in DC area)

The datacenter we are moving to is actually nearby, within 10 miles or so.

We have used this opportunity to refresh some of our equipment, so about
half the equipment is going to stay behind. Still, some (rather
heavy) servers are going to come with us. They include 1xe450, a pair of
e250's, 3 or 4 e420's, 3 v40z'a, D1000 and an EMC CX500.

Right now the plan is to get some uhaul truck, lots of
rags/blankets/boxes, and just hope for the best. My main worry is the disk
array.

Can anyone recommend anything (including some specialized movers that'd do
it at night). We are in the DC Dulles airport area.

Thanks,
Andrey
