Should i remove the CPU, RAM, Video cards and all other expensive and fragile components (i.e. Hard drive) of my computer and bring them as a carry on luggage? Or, should i bring the whole system checked? If i should get them checked, will my components inside my pc be Perfectly fine? What are your recomendations?
 
Nope you shouldn't remove any of the components...they are perfectly settled in place. If you have a good case then you should carry the whole thing , and mind that you do not drop the case. Just take it carefully and go >>>>
 
cpu and ram wont be a problem as they are very light and well secured. If you are very worried and have a flimsy case then maybe takeout hdds and gpus but its unlikely that there would be any problem. although if you have a very large aircooler i would probably take that out because if its thrown around too much it could damage the mobo or if you have a 240mm or larger rad ill take that out too (dont want it getting damaged and leak on your components).
