Unplugging GPU for transport?

Nah nigga just place it in a firm place where it won't move around at all (i.e. floorspace on the passengers side)

it's fine to leave it in. Especially if you've fastened it with a screw or those snap-on things you find in some cases.

it takes literally 1 minute to unscrew in protection of a 300 dollar gfx card.

just unscrew it retard.

How far is the trip? If I want to be safe and it's a long car journey I remove heat sink and all drives too.

I'm a student, if I'm going to waste $1000 it may as well be slightly upgradable

embarrassing

you can put 2 mobos together, slot a step between the pci-e slots then stand on it and they wont buckle.

unless you bought a shit mobo, you didnt buy a shit one did you?

>>389985131
just build another toaster pc when you get there for cheap. that's what i'm doing anyway. taking a whole fucking pc on a train is a mission and a half and i can already barely managed the one suitcase i usually take.

>Bringing a gaymen PC to uni

Nobody ever does this and neither should you

>>389986554
Many people do this.

>>389985131
Never bring a desktop anywhere, It will get stolen,

You should only have a laptop that you keep in your bag when not in use, Hugging it in your sleep like its your lover.

>>389985131
Make sure you lay the pc down when you put it in your car, don't stand it up. Just make sure it's fastened in tight.

>>389986659
No, they don't

Sensible people just bring a console like an Xbox or Nintendo or some shit to uni to have fun and connect with roommates/normies in the off time between classes, and leave their gaymen machines safe at home away from nosy assholes or risk of some shit happening to it for the comfy summer/winter break

>Sensible people just bring a console like an Xbox

i'm taking my xbox but i'm gonna build a budget ryzen 3 micro atx build when i get there.

I just leave everything in the case for transporting

>>389985131
>normies
you filthy nigger, just get out of the room and make some friends, so you don't end up like me

>>389985131
Over doing it OP.

Just lay the whole thing down so the motherboard is at the bottom and make sure the whole thing isn't sliding around or something during transport. Either wedge it between some soft shit or have it on the passenger seat if you can.

>>389986948
I didn't.
I moved AWAY from home to start my University studies.
Had my own, small 2-room apartment, with full desk and PC, sofa and bed, TV and gayming consoles, all in the livingroom/bedroom combo of mine.

Do people actually worry about this?

>>389986948

Brought my gaming desktop along with some cheapo laptop for notes/mobile work. Thanks to hookups with the school's IT department I copped some speakers and an HD projector to set up the ultimate gaming experience in my suite.

My roommates loved it when I set up MK9 and we'd play tag team matches.
