Packing a pc for shipping

[kotaq_]

What are packing materials safe to put in a pc to stop the parts from moving? I'm moving in less than a week but forgot to buy bubble wrap or any other packing materials and  i don't know how else to pack my pc.

The case box and the packing foam that it comes with. Its free and it usually have small amount of give in it. If you dont have that, then get a box of similar size and fill the gap with packing foam or air bags.

 

Also, dont forget to remove the GPU and the air cooler. Those 2 things can act as a lever and rip your board apart.

It's why I always keep my current case box. If possible, I'd suggest just moving your tech stuff in a car separate from everything else. If it's for a long haul one way trip where everything has to go at the same time, loads of padding on the outside, padded air bags on the inside and remove your gpu if possible and also store in a well padded container.

The tower cooler should be fine left in if it is securely screwed down. However if you really want you can use some packing foam to hold it in place. Just don't use anything staticky like packing peanuts, bubble wrap, etc
