Real quick estimate of volume puts that at around 1.75kg of copper

I assume it's at least ~5 cm × 5 cm × 15 cm. Given the mass density of copper, 8.96 g/cm^3 , its mass is at least 3.36 kg.

i find your estimate to be overed

It begins with the question: How wide is the cpu?

Based on that dimension, it's approximately 3× as tall.
