Asked By PixelProwler72 On

I'm moving from New Zealand to Europe in about a month and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transport my PC. I'm considering a few options: shipping it whole, dismantling it and sending just the key components (like the GPU, CPU, and SSD) and buying a new case when I get there, or taking it apart and bringing the important parts with me on the plane, either in carry-on or checked baggage. Right now, I'm leaning towards the last option since it seems like the cheapest and fastest choice, but I'm also worried it might be a hassle to carry those parts through the airport. I prefer to dismantle it, transport it, and then rebuild it rather than sell it here and buy a new one in Europe. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

You could wrap your PC in anti-static bubble wrap and put it inside its original box to ship it. Just make sure it's well padded to avoid any damage during transport.

I'd suggest dismantling your PC and carrying the GPU, motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU with you in your carry-on. Just grab a new case once you get to Europe; it’ll save you some hassle and shipping costs.

If you can fit everything in your carry-on, definitely go for that option! Buying a case in your new country is a smart move unless you're really attached to the one you have now. If you choose to ship it whole, make sure to use expanding foam for protection.
