Hey all! I am thinking of getting a gaming laptop soon and giving my GF my desktop. Sadly she lives a few states away for the time being. I wanted to mail it to her. Any tips on how to mail it? It is the core 500 case. I'd take out the GPU for sure but I'm using the Cryorg C7 cooler so prob don't need to remove it. Toddles!

Having the GPU and coolers separate is a good star you can add some blocking to help support anything else. As for boxing and shipping I would use the original boxes and double box them just incase.

You don't need to remove anything. Just pack the inside of the case with those inflated packing bags. It'll hold everything together. I've had several systems shipped to me that way and they've all been perfectly fine.
