Not sure if this the correct section.
I may or may not have to travel back to my home base by way of plane. Normally, we drive.. but I may have to leave my wife behind and travel on a plane, and I want to take my PC with me. Unfortunately the case won't fit in a carry on luggage by just a smidge, and I don't ship my PC or in a check in luggage.
Here are my thoughts.. I dismantle my PC and carefully put and protect the components in my carry on, and then ship the case to myself and reassemble it. I will put each component into an anti-static bag and can use my clothes for cushioning. Any other suggestions or thoughts?
