I'll be driving down from CT to VA next week for an internship. I wanted to bring my desktop along for shits and giggles [spoiler]and also to enjoy internet that isn't third-world tier[/spoiler] but I'm not sure of the safest way to move it. It will be a long drive, and the tiny sedan I'm in isn't exactly shock-proof.
Is it safe to transport a desktop + monitor by car? What is the best way to pack it so it doesn't get fucked up with the least amount of effort?

I always just put it between my front seat and the dash. Nothing has happened to it and I've been driving that thing back from college to my hometown (100 miles) pretty regularly.
The idea of static never crossed my mind.

put the monitor screen down on a plaid or something, and put the desktop CPU upwards on a plaid too, try to keep it steady so block it with bags or something so it doesn't move around and you'll be fine

Unfortunately I'll be driving with someone on the way down so the front seat isn't an option.
Has anybody had luck with the back seat or laying it down on the motherboard side in the trunk?

OP, assuming your PC is in good condition, a car ride (albeit a long one) should not be an issue at all for yout tower. Your monitor is what you need to worry about. Definitely wrap it up if possible. Bubble wrap is preferable, but I've had success wrapped it in a blanket. Just make sure that there are no corners or edges that it can slide into while you drive. Just use common sense and you'll be fine.

Having worked for UPS, it's a lot safer than shipping it
