Yeah, when it shipped I think it was about 75 pounds.  It is a tower, 
yes, and an impressively large box (my experience with servers is 
limited, this is the first I've ever gotten to play with, so it may not 
be out of the ordinary).  I think my kill-a-watt said, at idle, it was 
near 300W.  (Though it's been a while, I may not be remembering that 
correctly, and I don't recall looking at it under load)
