You might want to look at Anthrocart. Their standard computer carts are sturdy
but may not stand up to to a 3730XL's weight. But they have some carts that are
said to "hold 600 lbs. and be as steady as concrete." See:

I have some anthro carts, but no anthro benches.
Tell us how that 3730XL works out for you!
