As parts arrive for my new computer, I'm surprised at the size of some of them. I've always gotten Dell towers, so I wanted a tower, not a mini or a mid-tower. After spending a lot of time looking at various products and dimensions, I lost track of sizes and weights. I ordered an NZXT Phantom in red (cheaper than other colors). UPS left it by the front door, and when I picked it up, I thought it was a complete computer. It weights 24 pounds, plus the packaging! I don't think my complete Dell weighs that much. It's 24" high, 27" deep, and almost 12" wide, with several large fans inside. Now I have to find a place to put it because it's not going to fit where I have my Dell.
I also got a cooling unit for the CPU. I had seen similar units on my computers, but this is nothing like them. It's probably 8" high, 6" wide, and 4" thick. I'll have to put this computer on wheels so I can move it around the house.
The one part that is smaller than expected is the "drive." I got a Samsung M.2 256GB SSD. It's tiny - about half the size of a memory card.
Pictures to follow.

A Samsung M.2/256gb SSD half the size of a memory card. Yes, that is tiny for certain.
