Moving with PC

Hello! I'm going to college soon and I'm bringing my PC with me. Just wondering how I do go about packing and moving my PC? Last time I moved from my old place I just put my PC in the backseat with a seat belt on. It was fine but I feel like that's not such I good idea. Any help will be appreciated!

Just remove the GPU and put it into it's original box. Outside of that, you should be fine.

Alot of people do it in a car seat w/ a seatbelt, but I recommend you put it in the box your case came in and use the foam packing materials.

Depends on distance and how you drive. 

Does not having a second parenthesis around something bother anyone else as much as it does me? (Like if this statement was missing a second side)

My PC was a hand me down so I don't have any of the boxes any of my components came in. I should have a box for my GPU at that time though because I'm getting a new one in July.

good.  Other than that, you should be fine.
