So are two PDP 11/34a's, with two RL05s and an RK07, plus an RX211,
various cabinet hardware, media, etc.

Yeah, all total, I think my computer would weigh something like that, 
probably on the heavy side of 600. Three 5'x2'x3' cabinets (I DO hope
you meant ' and not " on your measurements). Unfortunately, me and
my dad couldn't get it up the stairs, so it's sitting in his garage
in Fort Worth.
