    How fat is your computer?

    I was bored tonight (really bored), so I decided to weigh my computer in it's new case. All said and done, it weighed 56 pounds. Check my sig for whats inside.

    Anyway, how much do your cases way? Monitors not included.

    I'd say about 50 lb, given that it has dual power supplies, a DVD reader, CD writer, 6 hdd's and several cards;

    RT-2000 & G400 Flex
    Fasttrak TX4
    Linksys LNE100TX NIC
    Turtle Beach Santa Cruz

            Do any of you have to lug it up and down a few flights of stairs every 3 months?

            The down side to living in a college dorm and using a system like mine, and I haven't even brought my new case up yet!

              I have two different foldup handtrucks that come in handy for moving stuff like my tool cases and of course FAT puters

                    I haven't weighed my computer, no. And I don't think I am going to shut down, disconnect all that crap, and weigh it just now.

                    It's heavy as hell (I do have to pick it up occasionally).. but hey! That's not fat, it's muscle!

                        I think mine has enough radiation shielding to be protected from a nuclear blast in my basement. My old one was built like a brick outhouse, but my new one weighs over twice as much.

                          Assuming the scale is accurate, mine's 32 pounds.

                            I don't even have a clue, other than that mine is VERY heavy. It's mostly to do with the Addtronics 7896A full tower case though.. And no, I'm not gonna weigh it. Don't wanna break our household scaled.

                            AMD Athlon XP2100+ (o.c. to 1845MHz)
