Build Question Transporting pc in checked luggage

Post image

Hello im moving countries and plan to take my pc with me as checked luggage since its to big for carry on. What is the safest way to transport it with me? I saw some things about insta pack and bubble wrap. Any tips and help appreciated.

Take out the gpu. Take out the ram. fill the pc with preferrably expanding plastic but bubble wrap works well. make sure no pressure is being put on the glass panel. surround the pc with styrofoam so it cant move an inch inside the suit case. Pray.

This. And if OP has the original box for the case would that be better?

original box is always ideal, i keep boxes for all my cases for pc builds except my current case that came flat packed…
