So I'm moving overseas and I want to ship my full-size desktop tower over there.
What is the best way to ship it, so the hardware doesn't get smashed by the baggage throwers or the delivery people?
I don't want to take it in my carry-on luggage so I'll have to ship it through a courier company.
What precautions should I take so the non-SSD hard drives don't get rekt?
>>
Take all harddrives out (ssds can stay though) and brace the gpu (or take it out too)

Good idea. Thanks. I guess they could fuck up the motherboard otherwise, eh? Should I just wrap them up in foam and put them alongside outside the case?

I had move my desktop over sea on carried luggage three years ago so I give my experience.
1. Chassis itself are more durable than you though. I jammed the chassis with every hardware (GPU, Hard Drive, Optical Drive etc) inside still bolted down to in their position into a huge luggage with monitor and keyboard, mouse stacked on top of it.
2. You will need shock-absorbing material to wrap your chassis around. Worry not, your clothes have shock-absorbing properties so stuff your clothes to enclose your chassis.

Take everything off and reassemble later
What's the big deal
