This is a concern as i might want to do watercooling in the future. Whenever i build a PC, i build downstairs on the wooden floor. Upstairs there is less space and it is carpeted, i use my PC upstairs.

Now, after building and leak testing, is it safe to carry the PC upstairs (with all radiator/pump/res holes closed or occupies by tubing) or is it extremely risky?

Yes, just don't wiggle it around and don't drop it.

Ok, it will just be tilted slightly to aid the walk upstairs

Yes it's fine, as long as you don't trip or pull any half-assed act on the stairway.

Is it just me, or is the guy indestructible?

He's a stunt man. He takes a brief moment to prepare before every bit.

I have custom water cooled PCs sometimes in my car, when I bring them back to friends after maintenance... no problem. And they better have the payment ready, usually I charge a six pack ;).
