PC Shipping Help

ANewFace · January 27, 2015

I'm building a Pc for a client and I'm trying to figure out the best way to ship it. I was thinking just stick it back into the case box and ship it that way. I have heard that GPUs can break off during shipping. So I'm trying to figure out something to pack inside the PC. Could I take some anti static bags and stuff them with regular packing peanut and use that? Or do I also need anti static peanuts? Or is there any other good way to do this? Let me know what's the bast way to ship a PC.

You can ship anything if you use the correct packaging; just look at how Singularity Computers packs their systems:

Last time I moved, I took newspaper wrapped in antistatic shrink wrap and stuffed it everywhere I could, so that everything was nicely padded. Then I closed the case, put it in the box the case came with and padded it with some extra foam.

I did this mainly because I have a full custom water loop, so removing the GPU is a huge pain in the ass. If you're air cooling, I'd recommend taking the GPU and CPU cooler off (not necessary if its a stock cooler) and packaging them seperately.
