How've you all shipped or transported your PC/desktop computers?

[歐博思]

Those who've taken desktops with them, how did you do it? I'm thinking I'd take the graphics card and hard drives in carry on, and either ship seperate or check-in the rest.

I'd take the hard drive and installation disks and buy something new when I arrived, unless I were using some older software that won't work on new operating systems and which is critical to my existance..

I wrapped everything except the case in bubble wrap and put it in my suitcase.

And then carried-on?  I'm imagining my components wrapped to look like the Michelin Man now lol. No customs issues or breakages may I presume? While all my components are high-end and I'd hate to replace anything in these 50% over-what-I-paid premium crytocurrency-mining-crazed times, the minimalist in me is entertaining all options. 

 

Any other 剝法's for this 貓 ? All 2 cent donations will be going in the Chinese Forums piggy bank for all to borrow from later!

I took a desktop and 30" monitor and mine has glass side panels. I took the hard drive out but more for about concern of lost luggage. I just wrapped it up in towels. No issues at airport, customs security etc. You can buy a monitor TV luggage case for very cheap

After seeing some of the damage done to luggage I've checked-in previously, I want to ask if your tower might have been made of diamonds instead of glass . That is reassuring to know it's possible.

 

Has anyone shipped one separately?

[DavyJonesLocker]

My original plan was to ship separately but after searching a lot of shipping companies it was much cheaper and far quicker to just bring it with me.
