You won't get it up stairs intact, you'll need to dissasemble it totally
because it's Heavy. As in take all the boards out, the blower and PSUs out,
then the card cage and probably dissasemble the frame to get it through a
standard door, they're wider than pictures show you.

Whatever door you have it'll be just too big in my experience - it's not a
problem if you're determined and you have the right tools for the job... like
an angle-grinder to kill some rivets on the frame and reduce it to a pile of
girders (take LOTS of pics...)

I was Not Happy, had to get someone else to do it and be very delicate with
it. Left virtually no mark because he just took the heads off the rivets. I've
bolted it now so I can get it back OUT when I leave for Uni...
