[geeks] How big is a pile of 40,000 PCs?

[David L Kindred (Dave)]

I know most of you guys hate PCs, so for the spirit of the question
substitute your favorite desktop :)

I just a news report that Home Depot is buying 40,000 PCs from HP.  It
is probably the lack of sufficient coffee yet this morning, but I'm
trying to imagine just how large a pile of 40,000 PCs would be if they
were ever in the same place at once?

Anyone here ever have to deal with numbers like that?  To me it's just
mind boggling to even consider.
