Posted June 9, 2014 I would wrap the case in some kind of tape to form a sling in which to carry it if it doesn't have handles, then I'd carry the monitor under my other arm and have all the wires and peripherals in a backpack along with my other supplies.

Posted June 9, 2014 First. Make a listThen. Pack all your peripherals into a big bag of some kind. If you can. Tie the monitor and case together to make them a single unit. ====>The car thread<====>Dark Souls thread<====>Placeholder<==== "Life is like a raging river, Its gonna get rough downstream.

Posted June 9, 2014 Take graphics card out. Yeah take the GPU and HDD out since those are the only things that are likley to be damaged. But if you are certain you will forget something write down a list of stuff you need starting right now and add to it whenever you remember something else you need. Then the day you leave make sure you have everything. Have fun at DHS for me!

Posted June 9, 2014 I agree, make a list, doublecheck it before leaving. Don't forget your cables, at least two power cables (monitor and PC), people tend to forget those, and the Ethernet cable although DH might provide those. Bring your DVI cable.. If you can, get yourself a cheap backup keyboard and a cheap backup mouse. If you're strapped for space, you can use your clothes to pad the things you're carrying... it's less than ideal, so it's just an idea. Also, you might want to carry the monitor and its stand separately. The monitor itself can be wrapped in a towel and placed into a big backpack. You can tape a piece of cardboard to the front of the monitor.

I have a corsair C70, so I'll carry it from the handles on it. First. Make a list Then. Pack all your peripherals into a big bag of some kind. If you can. Tie the monitor and case together to make them a single unit. I'm going to put my periphirals in my Bag of Holding, I'm going to tie them together and put my pillow between them. Take graphics card out. Well the thing with that is... My Gpu is kind of screwed to my case, in form of a Kraken G10... So it'll be quite difficult and annoying to get it out of there Yeah take the GPU and HDD out since those are the only things that are likley to be damaged.

Well that shouldn't matter then because its the heatsink's weight that creates the problems. As for the hdd, i think an antistatic bag and as much padding as you can possibly get preferably with something strong an ridgid (like a box ) halfway between the padding and the other stuff. like this: |hard thing | padding | HDD "Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something."

Posted June 9, 2014 Author If either of you want to get me a signature or two I would love you dearly I can't go -.- Sure, i'll get me and my friends to sign a dirty napkin then I can send you a picture of it or something (That does suck.)

As for the hdd, i think an antistatic bag and as much padding as you can possibly get preferably with something strong an ridgid (like a box ) halfway between the padding and the other stuff. like this: |hard thing | padding | HDD I shall consider this!

I just saw your signature thingy. Want to fight? I like self driving cars, I think they are the future, and I am certain that we wont be driving cars in the near future, but cars would merely be a way of getting to place A to B without having to move your arms.

I don't want to fight and i've done my best in order to not fight anyone on this forum. As a car enthusiast i'll keep driving my own car. And when i see that self driving cars are safe,intelligent and don't look like crap i'll accept them being on the road. But i still won't stop driving my own car. ====>The car thread<====>Dark Souls thread<====>Placeholder<==== "Life is like a raging river, Its gonna get rough downstream.
