I need Tips on how to ship a PC

[cirjakvoja]

Hello, so I bought a whole PC (components) here in the Netherlands. I still have to build the PC. However when I build it, i will do that just to test and make sure that all the components work correctly. After that I will need to pack it and ship it in a truck to Serbia. I am wondering how can I do this safely? Do I disassemble the pc or pack it in a special way in a box? Or any other recommendations since I am very paranoid that something will happen to it while its shipping......

PC's are shipped, fully assembled, all over the world, every day.

1. Do you still have the box the case came in?
2. A large CPU cooler of GPU> Consider taking those off. But then the recipient has to reinstall.

(recipient meant I thought you were shipping it to someone else)

Consider this:
If you have purchased the exact same parts list, but prebuilt from a factory (CyberPower or similar)..how do you think it would get to your house in Serbia or NL?

RAM? No, leave it.
HDD? Leave it.
GPU? Only if you are paranoid.
Large air cooler? Only if you are paranoid.

Make sure everything is screwed down tight.
Put the thing back in the box the case came in.
Ship it.

PC's are not as fragile as people seem to think.
