Any flat pack ATX cases?

[atomicus]

Are there any good quality ATX cases that come flat packed and/or can be disassembled for easy transport? I am moving country in a couple months and lugging a large case around is not very practical, so was curious if there is something I can obtain that can be transported more easily. A benchtable is the obvious solution, something like the Streacom BC1, which I know is very good, but is there anything else?

Even if the case could be packed up flat somehow, I feel like disassembling the whole PC and then packaging all of the separate components will end up taking about as much space during your move as simply leaving the complete PC in the case.

While that might be true, I'd be more concerned about potential damage. I wouldn't want to leave a cooler and GPU fixed, so that means packing them separately, so therefore using the PC case to carry the motherboard and CPU would take up more space than the motherboard box.

There are steps you can take to protect a completed PC when packing it up for transport (whether actually shipping it or just putting it in a moving fan or something)

 

 

I really don't think the type of case you're talking about exists, and even if it did, would you really want to switch your whole system to it "permanently" just for the sake of this move that will be over in a couple days?

 

If you're set on disassembling the whole system for transport anyway, and you're willing to spend money on a new case anyway... why not just junk your current case and buy a new case when you get to your new home? I mean since either way you're going to have to disassemble the system and transport the components.

Things like this exist. There are also full acrylic cases that ship flat and can be retaken apart:
