Does /g/ have any experience with the TSA and watercooling systems?

My new job gives me the opportunity to travel between europe and the USA, but I fear that the TSA could cause problems with my H60

Just buy a gaming laptop. Traveling with a desktop is pants-on-head retarded unless you will be in one place for a period of a year or more.

No airline will provide the necessary space to carry-on the tower in the overhead. You're not even including the monitor.

If you check the luggage, TSA isn't an issue.

just use a laptop you fucking idiot, moving a desktop around is dumb as fuck

>>58483367
Unless you're permanently relocating just get a laptop.

Air transporting desktop computer is tricky shit, you will need to put it in the luggage part and it may get all banged up and the watercooling gets shat and spills all over your shit so you have to constantly drain it before travelling

just get a thinkpad

it should fit.
The monitor will be transported in the suitcase, they are not that fragile

Your moving a desktop that often? Closed loop coolers aren't exactly super hardy. Constant trips in a cargo hold that isn't pressurized and super cold is going to shorten the life HUGELY.

for that reason its carry on

I have an AIO watercooled ATX tower that I took on multiple flights in the last few years (although none to the USA so sorry if this isn't helpful).

I boxed it in the original case packaging (polystyrene and all - hope you kept this!) and filled out the inside with a couple of towels so the components wouldn't move around. I then put each monitor (27" bezelless ASUS monitors) back in their original packaging with a plastic wrap over them for additional scratch protection. Then I duct taped both screen boxes together, screens facing inwards, so it was one bigger object with the screens well protected. I then basically took this and the pc box on as extra luggage.

On one flight I managed to then duct tape all the boxes together (PC box in between the screen boxes) and then put the whole thing in a huge plastic sack and duct tape it all down. It came to about 30kg which is exactly the limit for single pieces of luggage. If you check it as oversized luggage they handle it a bit more carefully and it wont get put on the normal baggage conveyor. I moved three times to different countries with this setup and never had any issues.

Or you could get a laptop of course but as we all know gaming laptops are garbage. and some of us need desktops for work.

Nope, 99% of people can do fine with a laptop

carry ons have weight and space limits.
