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!

that big card is going to need to be removed. the GPU+board should be fine for a few years if it only gets pulled a few times every couple of months

Do what @GDDRiley said and remove the gpu. I would also fill the pc with the expanding foam type material or something like that which builders use when they ship out systems.

Just a little question... There is no way that I can leave the gpu inside the case? Like stuffing it with impact absorbing material?

you could support it and then use the expanding foam that some builders ship them with but its such a heavy card it may just rip the PCIE slot off

Remove the GPU and the RAM, and fill your case with some foams and bubbles just as @GDRRiley said. I've transported my PC inside a suitcase once, checked in. I removed the GPU but forgot to remove the RAM, when i checked my PC , one of the ram stick came off. Luckily the ram and the slot are fine.
