How much does your computer weigh?

[Tazman]

I remember seeing a thread at the old place with this title and thought "way too much time on you're hands" .

Well, I just took my main computer out on the porch to clean it and decided to weigh it .

46 pounds.

Does my system need to go to Weight Watchers .

Maybe I ought to get back to work, huh?

Darned if I didn't do this just yesterday. Took the thing out on the front porch and blew out the dust with a can of compressed air! But I didn't weigh mine. However, it was difficult holding the thing with one arm while dusting it out with the other hand--so my son did the holding--so I would estimate about 45-50 pounds. That's without the little stand with the wheels.

That sucker sure had a lot of dust, and I just did this last January.

ive mailed alot of systems, and with 1 floppy drive, one hard drive,
one cdrom in a mid tower atx case, theyre all 25 pounds.
so i gotta wonder: whats in those 45 pound boxs? lead ?
1/4" steel case? rainwater? sand?

Tazman , i hate the fact that you just made me be a complete friggin moron and take my scale out of my bathroom and weigh my pc.

it comes from parts unknown like a wrestler and weighs in at almost a whopping 50 pounds. i see my pc is a fat bastid and needs to lose a few hard drives so i will stop looking at other systems.

i need therapy obviously.

i'd estimate that mine weighs about 50 pounds.

steel case and 2 CD drives don't help either.

I would estimate my newest monster system to weigh in around the 60 to 65 pound mark with all the drives that it has

[LinuxNewbie]

lol, how many drives?

[Mntsnow]

total of 10 HD's now plus the CDRW, DVD Player and DVD Burner

[LinuxNewbie]

somebody has too much money on their hands...

why so many drives?

It's my DVD Ripping and authoring system and also provides backup storage space for my network at home
