Here is a 16 blade Chassis from HP
The one i work with on a daily basis is a 8 blade cassis and weighs 429 pounds fully loaded. Empty the chassis weighs 108 pounds.
You will know when you find one. Also they have good resale value as the one we have cost $18,000 for the chasis, 20k for each of the 8 blades and about another 30k for the various expansion modules.
Thank you. I am now sick to my stomach. Scrapped several of these in 2011.
