歐博思 Posted February 3, 2018 at 05:22 PM Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 at 05:22 PM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted February 3, 2018 at 05:31 PM Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 at 05:31 PM 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..

Wurstmann Posted February 3, 2018 at 09:32 PM Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 at 09:32 PM I wrapped everything except the case in bubble wrap and put it in my suitcase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
歐博思 Posted February 4, 2018 at 01:49 AM Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 at 01:49 AM 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyJonesLocker Posted February 4, 2018 at 06:03 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 at 06:03 PM 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
歐博思 Posted February 5, 2018 at 03:25 PM Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 at 03:25 PM 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyJonesLocker Posted February 6, 2018 at 09:40 AM Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 at 09:40 AM 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.
