Poll: How much does your rig weigh?

Gig-O-Ram · Sep 17, 2005

Up until recently, I never gave it much thought either, but one day when I was working on my rig I decided to put it on the scale because with the addition of the Zalman, the 68GT and the case itself, it has gotten pretty heavy. At the moment, it weighs 39 pounds closed up. I imagine that number will go up if I put a bigger HSF in there (like a Big Typhoon, even though that'll be for the next rig) and more fans or if I decide to put a slave in there.

Edit= Okay, this is not letting me post actual poll choices for some reason. :shrug:

These were going to be the choices:

Edit #2= Since this has been made into an actual poll, I'm taking off my "poll choices".

Acording to my bathroom scale, my water cooled Antec tower weighs 67lbs and my air cooled V2100B is 29lbs.

I weighed mine on the bathroom scale too...so I guess the weight was accurate. I have been thinking of going water cooling in the next rig (haven't decided for sure), and if I do, then it will proabably get ridiculously heavy

ummm. well i can carry it to my friends house without a problem (200 yards away) so i guess it isn't heavy. im guessing 25-ish or a bit more...
our stone-age scale broke.

My new Case I am working on is going to weigh in at around 250 lbs. That is why it is on wheels.

Project: Denali EC's Extreme New Case (like you would expect anything less)

10 pounds or less

10 - 15 lbs

15 - 20 lbs

20 - 25 lbs

25 - 30 lbs

30 lbs or more

Only Admins., moderators, and seniors can post polls. If you want it to be an actual poll, PM a mod and if they want to they may merge it with a poll or whatever they do. Or maybe they will see it first.

Mine ways about 20 lbs, I'm not sure. It is light, because it is alluminum.

SolidxSnake · Sep 17, 2005

Mine is 15-20lbs I guess, I can lift it easy

ozzlo · Sep 17, 2005

wrangler88 · Sep 17, 2005

Shadowknight281 · Sep 17, 2005

57lb, mostly passive air cooling components, Antec Phantom in a P180 with Acoustipack

don256us · Sep 17, 2005

My old case was very heavy. I had a high quality (and therefore heavy) power supply. I had a full tower steal case. Two of every device. And my water cooling was internal wth a full gallon of water in it. It was all that I could do to move the thing when I wanted to work on it.

YouEatLard · Sep 18, 2005

Haha, both my rig's boxs (Enlight 8950) come in at 45 lbs. empty.
Server has 9 HDD, 1 CD-ROM, 1 floppy, 1 SLK 900, every slot has a card in it, and a Vantec 520 watt PSU. All the chips on the motherboard are copper sinked and it has more then a couple fans. I haven't put it on a scale but judging from the dents in the floor I'd say I'm pretty happy it came with wheels.

My gaming rig has a Vantec 520 PSU, 3 HDD, 3 CD-Roms, and a 2 gallon res, and a 1 farad 16V cap on the 12v line, so it's not a light system either. Do the two 19" monitors count?

The cap is just there to keep power to the 12V line for a few seconds to keep the relay in the PSU closed keeping the pump running. Why? Overclocking, having alittle too much spare time on my hands, and having an extra cap laying around. Pick one, all, or any combo.

Yes, if needed, I think I could end someone with my computers if I had to.

Gig-O-Ram · Sep 18, 2005

It seems like a lot of us have rigs with a decent amount of weight on them, but I think Electron Chaser has us all beat! I was looking at his thread on his new extreme case, and man...basically a small room on wheels! He needs to hire security for it, and make sure that no children or small animals hide inside the thing.

All kidding aside...EC, that IS one extreme case! And here I thought mine was heavy...I'm not worthy...
