[SOLVED] Transporting PC Vertically

[AFantasyHero]

Hi!
I plan to go on a 7 hour long road trip on a Bus from a city to another.
I plan to do this every 3 months.
Since I can get a single ticket for myself, I can only put the computer case in front of my seat, vertically.
(The storage section of the Bus is not an option as I am afraid it would slide in it and bump into other stuff...)

I was wondering about what I can do to minimiz ethe risk of damaging my components?
I have a Hyper Evo 212 cooler and a GTX 1070 ti MSI Duke at around 31 cm (10 inch+), installed on a miniITX board.

I was thinking of removing the GPU.. But since I'll be doing it every 2-3 months, I was afraid of wearing out the GPU and Board contact pins in a year or two... (I have read that I can only remove and insert the Card like 50 times before it wears out and dies)

Appreciate any suggestions!

The safest method is to not bring it at all.

You could get robbed while carrying it around - I'm rather paranoid.
The gpu and cpu coolers really should not be left sitting in the motherboard when transporting for extended distances.

Is this true?
I must be lucky, as my gpu should be dead by now...

A laptop would me more suitable in this situation.

Remove cpu cooler and graphics card and transport them in separate packaging.

you could fixate the card and the cooler by something like ESD foam, cut the foam so the cooler and GPU can´t move within the case
