Question about computer transport and styrofoam

[ikjustudio]

Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding the transportation of my newly built computer. I will have to transport it via car for around three hours and I am wondering if it will be fine to put it back into the styrofoam brackets and cardboard box the case came with. However, I have read that styrofoam can get charged so I am kind of scared of damaging my rig during the ride. Can anyone help me with this and tell me if this will be fine or not?

I should also note that I will be removing my GPU and transport it separately in its box. I have an AIO cooler and will probably keep that one on the motherboard.

Thank you for your time!

Thats how I move my system to and from college, back in the original box.
You are also correct in removing the GPU, and the AIO can stay.

I am sorry but just for my peace of mind could you confirm that you put it in the styrofoam? I am a bit scared, sorry I am probably over reacting.

Yep, slab of foam on the top and bottom, slid right back into the box, sealed up. Done it at least a dozen times now.
Also, many prebuilt systems are shipped the same way.
