two or more boxes with packing between them. most shipping damage is dropping the box or crushing it. the part that does not travel well are hard drives..if there dropped or shaken...dead drive. motherboard..cpu..ram vendors have learned to pack there stuff well.

Are you shipping a built PC, or just the parts?
If just the parts, I'd suggest two boxes. One for the case, in the original box. Another box with all the other parts, still in their original boxes and some padding.
After all....they all just got shipped from China and Taiwan.

If the built PC, consider taking off any large air cooler and maybe a large video card. Ship the rest in the box the case came in.

Best thing to cover it with? Bubble wrap, hard foam?
