I already had 2 incidents of a graphics card breaking during shipping.  Is there anyway I can ship a PC with 2 GTX 780's SLI and NOT break?  He can put them in but I am afraid of the configuration being reset.

Specs: Core I7-2600K @ 4.5GHz @ 1.35V, 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance Black 1600MHz CL9, Cooler Master Evo 212, MSI Z77 Mpower Motherboard, Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X @ 1000/1400, Cooler Master HAF 932 Blue Edition w/ 3 Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 120MM fans (2 up top 1 in the bottom) replaced side panel with a window, and rear fan with a Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 140MM, Cooler Master GX 650 80+ Bronze PSU, Samsung DVD-RW, Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD, Seagate 750GB SATA III 7200RPM

something i do that i learnt off a youtuber that does watercooled builds is to get a bunch of foam, not the chea stuff that falls apart but decently thick squishy stuff that wont leave lint and whatnot and pack the inside of the case with it, if i can find the video again ill link it

 

Edit: found it, this is for watercooled systems but the idea is still the same :)

Crumple up some paper bags and stick them inside the case to keep your parts in place.
