Looking at the images on their site and I noticed that the wheels are only on the front of the case and there is a handle on the back. You know its heavy when the company making it gives you a handle and wheel setup to move it around. I have yet to see a weight on it, my guess is 55-60 pound range with a system in it, the Antec P190 I have with stuff in it pushes 63lbs, and thats not even full.

Wow that is big.

Bubba: That P190 weighs a tonne! My P180 with watercooling in it is only around 50lbs, and bio's ufo with all his watercooling gear is around the 50lbs mark too.

It doesn't get moved much :lol: Its all the sound deadening panels, dual PSU's, and its all steel. Just the doors of the P190 weigh almost as much as my Centurion 541 mATX case.

So question though, why do people want a second psu support ability? I mean isn't the goal to make higher performance parts that take less power and they already have 1kw psus. why would you need something that uses two psus? Also this thing is gigantic but I"d love to have it, It looks awesome and I like big cases, easier to organizing things in as long as your power supply has long cords on it and a lot of plugs.

I like the flip out mobo tray, but wonder how long the hinges will last when it gets some heavy use...
