Motherboard removal and re-usage

[AdrianKopa]

Hello everyone

I was thinking of changing my pc case due to various reasons.Is it possible for me to just remove the mobo with all the components (cpu,gpu etc) and plant it in the new case or should i change anything?I am also afraid because i will have to travel quite some distance with the components so anything i should be careful of during the travel or the removal?

thanks in advance

You can move the board with CPU/cooler and memory attached. But I wouldn't leave the gfx card in the slot. I don't understand the last part of your question about having to travel quite a ways to change the case.

If you are concerned about transporting the completed PC over a distance, just be sure it is not going to fall over or get jarred badly. You can move the PC w/o having to remove anything.
Now, shipping it is different. There, you may want to use the box the case came in to pack it back in its Styrofoam inserts and maybe even remove the gfx card.
