  What is more interesting is what a PC with two
8" drives would 
 weigh in at!   Most of the good 8" drives were a very solid hunk
 of aluminum. 
There *IS* a (somewhat) PC with dual full-sized 8" drives mounted
in it - the Nec APC:

I can tell you that this thing is big and HEAVY - especially the
color one. 
Having used a color one it was a much better machine than the PCxt
(this is back when they were both new).

The Color CRT besides being big was way over my lift limit!
