If you have these guys on your computer remember to delete them first as they will push your weight well into the excessive range . 5 guys ( . stuffucanuse . com/christmas_cards/christmas_fatties . jpg" target="_blank">www . stuffucanuse . com) For your enlightenment: 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 .	netchicken (4843)

We bought new bathroom scales yesterday and I'll be boxing it up today, so will report back later. When you post the weight, will you do the math and present the values in KG, pounds (lb's) and Stone? I assume the stones are granite or some heavy sedimentary type. :waughh: If you're going to use the bathroom scales while you are holding and then without the computer, make sure you are naked to avoid any false readings.

The dog had just been in a pond, then in sheepyards. Fortunately. I own an oilskin. Even more fortunately, I didn't believe the joker neighbour who gave me the same advice as Joe's.	Laura (43)
469361	2006-07-11 10:40:00	Well I sorted things out, and didn't get much good news. Case and bits weigh 13KG's Monitor weighs 23 KG's Courier Post and NZ Couriers won't take the monitor, full stop. NZ Couriers will transport the case for $36.00, Courier Post for $50.20. DHL would take both for $119.40 Fliway gave a similar figure. PosteHaste won't deliver computers at all, or so the 9 year old customer service girl said!	Greg (193)
