company i worked for a few years ago sent computer all the time......
15Kg for a full system.
25KG for a 17" CRT.
How much does a computer weigh?
Further to this thread I got a quote from NZ Couriers (the only one that replied on a Saturday) of sixty dollars for a maximum of 25 kg's. Our bathroom scales have rusted to the extent that it can't measure anything.
So, can someone please give me an approx weight of a computer - full ATX case, 17" CRT monitor and usual peripherals.
Thanks!

Watch NZ Couriers. Their prices have gone through the roof lately.
They charged me $48 to send computer (no monitor) from Rotorua to New Plymouth.
Seems if the charge by weight isn't high enough they charge by measurement.

It's exactly as heavy as a piece of string is long.

The rust on the bathroom scale will not add anything to the total weight of the computer.
I can figure it out, but I need some more info:
Are the harddrives full or not? Have the been defragged?
Is it USB 1 or USB2?
Is it a 240v or 120v?
What is the OPSYS? ME is very heavy, 98 is lighter, but 95 is the lightest.
Linux will have to be removed before shipping as it's unstability makes it a liability in shipping. Linus also has longer boots too...they must be removed.

40KG's all up? Sounds a bit much?

Re: How much does a computer weigh?
depends a lot. my system not including monitor would easly weigh over 20kg...more like 25kg. good cases and power supplies weigh a lot.
now you can see why cheap system builders love cheap PSU's and cheap cases.

Aluminium case or steel? Steels heavier.
Much stuff in it? Like 4 HDDs, 2 opticals etc?
Full tower or midi or mini?
A really full steel tower case might go over 25kg but its unlikely.
At a rough guess, 18 to 22kg.

Aliminuim is cooler and quieter. (and much lighter)
