Another question, how much will it weigh?

Originally posted by jmaster299 The case alone, meaning empty, is nearly 30lbs. With everything installed you can expect it to be around 40lbs or more. Full specs are 29lbs, 20" High; 24" Long; 11" Wide.No computer should ever be kept inside those cubicles built into desk, worst invention ever, and you should avoid placing any computer under a desk in general. They should always be up off the floor and open on all sides, at the very least all sides that have in-take or exhaust fans.I personally have my system on an old TV stand, some people put their rig on their desk if it's large enough. It's not just an air flow issue, all dust settles, so you floor will always collect the most dust as it's the largest surface area in your room on which dust settles. That dust gets kicked up by you walking and moving around the room. If you have pets it's even worse.A serious system like this draws a lot more air for it's cooling so it will collect more dust and collect it faster then some pos off the shelf system that may only have one quiet, slow spinning, fan inside of it.

All good to know information...Thank you!
