Tips for moving desktop?

[Tavreth]

So does anyone got tips for moving my desktop? (like going to a lan party or something like that) As of now I just put it in the packaging that my case came in. Is there any better methods? or is that fine?

Unless it's surrounded by tempered glass panels, I would just toss it in the back of my car and drive lol

Bubblewrap all the things.

my case does have a tempered glass side panel, and I can't really afford breaking, like anything, in, on, or around my computer

should I stuff it inside of my computer too? or should I not worry about the motherboard, gpu, etc.

if you're driving it there yourself, toss it in your car (on it side), make sure it doesnt go flying around, and you're good to go.

 

just dont drive like a flopping idiot and you're okay.

no no no, you screwed things down for a reason, there's no reason to bubble wrap anything inside the computer!

 

Bubblewrap your case, bubblewrap your monitor(s), and any other hardware like your keyboard and mouse (keyboard and mouse can be wrapped together)

 

Just lie it down on its side, preferably the side you had it on when you were first installing the motherboard, and you should be good to go. I wouldn't worry too much unless it's tempered glass.

If you have HDD, remove (and number) it/them, wrap them up and carry separately.

If you have a heavy graphics card then may be worth doing that too.

 

Otherwise, it's just a box
