How to travel with pc

The TSA doesn’t have a problem with your PC. So in terms of security screening, there is nothing to stop you from packing a desktop computer case in either carry-on baggage or checked baggage.

Then when transporting a desktop computer, the most fragile part is almost always the hard disk drive. So I would dismount it if possible and take it into your cabin luggage. But you shouldn’t normally fear that this will damage your computer.

wrap the gpu in anti static bag, and bubble wrap/protective wrap it in your bag. cpu heatsink aint so fragile so just stuff it in your bag. and then pack your bag so its not loose, everything is nicely fit. Carry the hard drives with you in the cabin in anti static bubble wrap.

Do what you said you’re already doing: take off your cpu cooler, take out your gpu, and anything else that’s not screwed down (motherboard, cpu, harddrive are all good to be left inside the case). Carry those components you removed with you as a carry on. Buy a box off amazon that fits your case.

Keep the mobo,cpu and fans on (not the cpu cooler though, might damage something during transportation. Put the rest in their boxes, put them in a suitcase and check it in as luggage.
