Yeah, when it shipped I think it was about 75 pounds. It is a tower,
yes, and an impressively large box (my experience with servers is
limited, this is the first I've ever gotten to play with, so it may not
be out of the ordinary). I think my kill-a-watt said, at idle, it was
near 300W. (Though it's been a while, I may not be remembering that
correctly, and I don't recall looking at it under load)
