I am trying to plan out my trip dream hack for next winter. I have most of the things sorted out but I still am having trouble finding a good way to take my pc. I don't ant to buy a travel case as that cost more then the ticket itself. Also I already know to take out my gpu and cpu cooler before taking it. How should I pack it? Should I just put it in its box then in a suitcase with bubble rap in it? Also it would be preffered to only have 2 bags max one carry on (has to be small) and one on the storage area of the airplane. I plan to take all my peripherals and clothes etc... on the airplane with me while putting my system and monitor in a suitcase with foam on the airplane. Will this work? Will I have any problems with security if I take the gpu and heatsink in my carry on or should I try to fit them into my checked bag. Thanks in advanced.
