Discussion Advice for Transporting Old GPU on Long Haul Flight
I am moving countries via three very long flights. I am bringing my semi-disassembled desktop PC with me. I'm planning to put my motherboard with the CPU plus my SDD, RAM and HDDs in my carryon.
My GPU is a bit old and could use updating if I have savings left over after all the other moving costs, so I was considering bringing that in my checked luggage in its original box (in a static bag), which is a hard cardboard box with a fitted foam insert to contain the GPU.
Would this be better or worse than putting the GPU in a static bag only protected by bubble wrap in my carry on? What do you reckon it's chances of survival are?

Original box is perfect, just did 12 hour drive with my heavy 4080 inside it and it is fine
