Question How should I transport my pc. Help fast as possible

[PatelOm]

So I’m going to my friends house and He lives an hour away and I’m going to be staying there for a couple weeks and when I am going there I want a way to take my PC so can I take my PC in the box of the case because I built my PC so can I transport it in the PC case box and thing is I will be at a indoor water park for 2 days then I’m going to his house so is it ok for me to leave a PC in a hot car tbh I don’t think so , so I will go with a professionals word

remove gpu (if anything but integrated) and heatsink if its a big tower. Ram too (ram can come loose and literally tear up the insides of a pc...there are videos showing it from popular pc ppl. and a can actually damage the PCB of motherboard.

heat is fine as logn as no moisture in it.

and stealing..is unavoidable if soemone wants it.

I used to go to a lan party every month with mine as well no problems. Every now and again a cable might come loose or something but that's the worse that ever happened.
As long as you secure it so it doesn't move around it'll be fine.

What if I put in the box Thapa case of my PC came in so it won’t move and I will put things around it to secure it in place

Bc it has tempered glass so leaving it alone can be catastrophic

Can I take it in the box my nzxt case came in bc outing it alone is a risk

Yes, you can put it in the box. I thought we covered that.

Tempered glass is pretty robust as long as you don't hit it with something with a small surface area or exceed it mechanical stress.

Me, I would probably leave the glass at home and fashion a new panel out of acrylic for traveling just so I don't have to lug it around. Glass is heavy.

Yes I would leave the glass at home but I don’t have another cover and dust can easily get it

unless they break into it lol

Assuming the item is not in plain sight, or through a glass in one of those hatchbacks... all they need is 3 seconds when you open the trunk to retrieve a jacket.

In a moving car and potholes?

Got some cardboard and tape? You can make a simple dust cover in about five minutes. Or anything stiffer like foam board would look a little better.

You shouldn't worry about dust too much, you'll be wanting to keep a regular cleaning schedule anyway. A nice dusting every 6 months if you heavily use it. Less often if you don't.
