Posted October 20, 2017 In check baggage, computers don't have to be taken apart for additional scanning, that only applies to laptops that are carried on. You won't carry on your PC so it should be fine but I suggest taking out the expensive components and putting them in the original boxes if you still have them. PC cases aren't designed to be shipped and the parts aren't usually held on well enough for this type of transport. But the CPU should be okay, your GPU might be better off packed separately since its heavy and not held well, and probably expensive. -Amy Miyake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for any other country's regulation or airline. I was on United. Some airlines have weight limits or additional policy (Like batteries for example). But a PC is perfectly legal to be transported on luggage in the United States.

They can only be easily damaged when they're running (because the read write head is out in the open, so sudden impacts could cause it to puncture the platters). When not on they're surprisingly sturdy. Of course, if OP wants to play it safe they could remove them and store them separately. True but better safe than sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 20, 2017 Perfect thread, was about to start one just like this myself. I'll also be taking my old build apart and am thinking of carrying the mobo/chip/ram as carry on luggage and check in the psu, hdds and cooler but don't want them poking around in my bag if it looks a bit suspicious on their scanners, a psu with all those cables, an aio cooler.. bomb like ? Is it safe to do that anyway, gets pretty cold down there in the hold, can snap guitar strings and mess with the finish if not in a proper hard gig bag. Not to mention airport handlers who are not very gentle handling luggage. Ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
