How to ship a PC?

[soaringchicken]

So due to the fact that I have a few parts that I no-longer need/want I have decided to make a basic computer from those parts and sell it. So I was wondering how I would go about shipping this to someone. 

 

The rig will look a little like this

 

CPU: AMD 6800k (with stock cooler)

 

Mobo: Asrock FM2A88M-HD+

 

RAM: Patriot Signature 8GB 1333mhz

 

PSU: EVGA 430watt Bronze

 

HDD: WD Blue 1TB

 

Case: Thermaltake Commander ms-iii

 

Here is a pic of the case: 

 

 

Thanks,

Well get a large box to fit it, and some packing foam and peanuts and what not

just pad it really well and maybe take out the cpu cooler since you dont have a high cpu cooler or a gpu you could probably just ship it as is

Carefully, use lots of foam & other impact absorbing materials. (Soft foam, or maybe a sort of mix between hard and soft foam)

Since Im going to run a e-commerce site soon, I've done quite a-bit of research on packing materials, and what I would suggest to use is Packing Peanuts, considering the PC in theory is going to be quite light in weight the peanuts shouldn't crumble if the box encounters any hard hits.

As long as everything is properly screwed in and tied down, you should be fine just using the box the case came in.
