Transporting PC

So im going to visit some friends in a few weeks and as we are all PC Gamers I am taking my PC, I just wanted to know if anyone has any tips for moving a Computer in a car, the drive is about 4 hours and the only thing I am worried about is my H100i and my Hard Drives. I just don't want to get there and find that some of the vibrations of the road has managed to cause my Drives to corrupt or mess up in any way! Also I don't want to find a pool of water in the bottom of my case.

I have currently thought of doing the following:

 

Putting my PC between the passenger seat and the back seat with pillows on the floor and both sides of the PC to cushion any movement that may occur, putting my Monitor in the box it came in as I cant see anything going wrong there, and then obviously just sticking my mouse, keyboard and headset in a bag. 

 

Anyway I'm looking forward to the LAN and would love any tips from you guys! 

 

Cheers

Put PC in the boot. Put buddys PC on top of mine. Put a third PC vertical beside them.

 

Had monitors just sitting on the back seat (or on lap that works too) with mice and keyboards in bags.

 

Nothing too extreme. Also nothing went wrong. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

I would put it in the boot but me and my buddy are taking all of our stuff down for a 10 day visit and we wont have enough room :P
