I had an IBM PC Server 704 (which is the same size as a deskside Onyx 
but *slightly* lighter) sitting on top of a deskside Onyx without any 
trouble.

I've often climbed on deskside machines and when I stand on it, my 
weight is a lot more concentrated, and I still haven't had a collapse or 
dent.  These machines are pretty strong.
