I don't have a scale but it's pretty heavy.

Antec P180B

I voted 40-50 pounds but that's probably too much. Maybe around 35 pounds.
 
I'm not picking my computer up, it has a bunch of hard drives just thrown in the bottom of the case and I don't want them moving around.

I'd guess 20lbs though.
 
Mine is a beast. It's got one of those monstrous PC P&C TurboCool 1KW PSUs in it that's full ATX spec (much longer and heavier than "standard"). The steel case is frickin' heavy and the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme is one massive heatsink too. Additionally, there are two optical drives, six 5-platter HDDs, an external SATA bay with a seventh HDD, GTX280, 9800GTX+, and every card slot occupied (Tri-SLI board).

Here's how I know I'm in the top category without even weighing it: I attached one of those Antec LANboard roller things with the GearGrip-like handle and the snaps on the straps pop off when I try to pick it up. They can't handle the weight. I still leave it attached to roll it around, so that's even more weight.

I don't really want to unhook everything to check, but I'll guess mine is around 50-60 pounds. It is a pretty heavy duty case, not cheap thin stuff.

My server is probably close to 80lbs, big rackmount case, 6 hard drives. Was a beast to rackmount that thing alone.

I have 4 SAN enclosures too that are 127lbs each according to the label. Those were fun to move.
 
Well over 50#, but as others have noted, watercooling is heavy. A triple and a dual radiator, dual pumps, etc.

Silverstone TJ07 case and while it's aluminum, it certainly isn't light weight.
 
I'd guess no more than 30lbs. It's an Antec Sonata knock-off, the original of which apparently weighs 20lbs, so with all the typical motherboard, hard drive, heat sink, etc I'm probably close.
 
my case alone (steel case) weighs in at 21.8 pounds. the rest of my computer is pretty standard. so i'll go with between 20-30 pounds.
 
3 pounds. Desktop. Uses 10-15 watts idle. Dead silent. Doesn't function as a space heater. Plays Starcraft II well enough for me.
