Sounds kinda like the HP Netserver LX Pro I had a long time ago (I finally got rid of it ~15 years ago when moving).
There's a reason that beast had heavy-duty caster wheels -- fully decked out with 12 SCSI HDDs installed, that thing weighed around ~200 pounds (90 kg)!
I found an old forum post [0] which includes some pictures of the machine.
(I had an LH Pro too. It was also a helluva machine, but paled in comparison to the LX Pro!)

EDIT: I found a copy of an old HP configuration / spec sheet [1] for an LX Pro (dated 19 Aug 1996) that includes pricing information. The as-configured price? USD $645,663!
