I am a college student moving back home to NY and I'm going to be flying as my car wont make the drive, so I'm going to by flying as my ticket was payed for by family as a graduation gift. I also have my gaming/work rig I need to bring with me as well and I looked through a few posts throughout the internet and I've seen some horror stories from UPS and such. I was planning on shipping through Fedex, however I have the h100i in my system. Is it safe to ship it with something like that? This was my first big rig that I built (was around 1500 total) and I want to make sure it gets there safe. Anyone have suggestions?

Proper packaging is the key. No premium/white glove shipping service is actually gonna assign your package a british valet, they just paid you off if it gets damaged.

Because I used to sell electronics through eBay...See how brand new electronics are packaged? the item sits suspended in a hard styrofoam "cage." The very fancy ones even comes packaged in a "double" box, but to me the styrofoam is good enough. You can buy hard styrofoam at Office Depot, Home Depot, Uhaul, but I have used hard cardboards made into a "cage." Popcorn styrofoams are NO GOOD. Then all that empty "air" inside the case... stuff it with bubble wrap, clean socks will work.
