If I build an ITX build, what should I do when moving it around (Travelling)?

Are there any things I should do before I move it around? Like take the graphics card out? OR are the components so close together and packed in that I don't even need to worry about it?

 

Thanks,

You could take the flimsy parts out (GPU, maybe large thing Heatsink on CPU) Or just leave it in a smooth padded area in your car or cover it in something that will keep it stable

Hope I could help!

Take out the graphics card(s) and Heavy CPU heatsinks

make sure nothing can move, for example if there are tool less drive bays, use screws to secure them. also, if you graphics card is quite long, some kind of reinforcement brace to take pressure off the pcie slot would make it more secure.

Or just build your rig with ssd, low profile heatsink and itx 760 and don't worry about anything.

I don't think that you need to take out anything. Unless you are going to throw it around.

Great case... Well I reckon you should be fine, as long as all the screws are tight and you treat it with the required care...
