Am sending my newly built 1800$ PC from California to New York, these are the specs:
CASE: Corsair Carbide 500R
i5-3570k
Noctua NH-D14
ASUS P8Z77 V-PRO mobo
Gigabyte Windforce GTX 670 OC
8GB RAM
Samsung 256 GB SSD
1 TB HDD
Would this method of packaging suffice?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l5CSF0ZaUWs
I also have all the original boxes for every component and some air bags, would it be safer to just remove all the components and put them in their respective boxes? I'll probably need more then one suitcase ( its not a robust suitcase). If so, should ALL the components be removed, including the mobo? I really don't want to screw this up, now I'm afraid to send it through UPS.
If not, which parts should I remove? Should I remove the Noctua, GPU, mobo, try to stick them in a box and see if they fit in the empty case? What about the rest of the components, should I stick them in a suitcase and ship the case with the boxed components insde ? The computer will cost 136$ to ship (I'm guessing its actually 100$, since I'll be taking out some components).
I also have a 27" ASUS VG278HE monitor, It will cost me 100$ to ship, I'm expecting the Pc to cost even more... I'm trying to sell it on craigslist or Ebay but I doubt I'll be able to do this since I'm leaving next Wednesday.
I really should've thought about this sooner, but I'm moving in between places and really need to rush this, but am trying to do everything right after all the horror stories I've been hearing. Any help is gladly appreciated thank you.
