But you can't run over a G4 with a truck. I once ran over a 9595 with a
1979 Dodge Power Ram with a three-axle conversion and a Cummins
engine. Didn't even crash the disks.

Only time I ever come across minimum low-end and heavy
was model 35.
25lbs just in chassis and cover, floppy tray (good 1lb itself
without floppy drive itself), PSU.
I've P75 and Model 70-Axx, three days ago, came across storage
expansion box (based on stripped 95xx tower and refitted with 7 drive
bays (2 or 3 of them is for 5.25" FH) no drives and still weighs
like 30lbs. all of them except 70 and P75 (mostly plastic) are thick
gauge steel and PSUs which are very HEAVY.
But other items that made the P7x heavy were in display panel,
PSU (IBM tried to lighten it unsucessfully by using tin sheets
wrapped around plastic chassis to keep PSU in shape, fault is using
copper heatsinks and heavy transformers. Completely stipped
P7x shell weighs about 3 to 4lbs.
With care IBM can make strong machines with less steel and less
massive PSUs, besides they have knowledge already. They should talk
to apple who designed quality plastic boxens in past.
