Why the F**k is it so heavy

Perceived value? ;-)

Have you switched it on yet? Maybe there is a breeze block in there instead of innards.

(This actually happened to someone I know who bought an xbox from a dodgy supplier when they first came out!)

I suspect coming from Amazon it will be alright though.

So is the real reason that the chips have suddenly got really heavy...?

Actually, you may be on to something there. Not so much the chips themselves as the fans, heatsinks and all the other stuff required to keep them from overheating...

It should make a nice little space heater.

Well, the room my main X2 4800 PC is in is noticeably warmer than other rooms in the house!

You should see the devkits.

They also sounds like a jet taking off.

There's a load of DevKit GameCube's in our storeroom. They're brown. And apparently only work when plugged into a PC.

Can you steal me one? I think it'd be a cool thing to have ;)

Because lifting it is the last exercise teenage purchasers get for at least 6 months?

It's made of gold!
