How can I transport a Desktop with a plane?

[Barracuda115]

In, like, two months i will have to take two planes : one 7.5 hours and one 1.5 hours. I need to transpot a Desktop wich has CM Storm Enforcer as the case and a 23 inch montor: Asus vs238h-p.
What should i do?

If you trust the airlines (which I don't), you could get it on the plane as "fragile oversize", but you'll have to pay extra for that. If you don't want to pay extra, and you don't mind rebuilding your rig, you can take all your components out, pack your case in a large suitcase, and stuff your clothes in your case. Your components (MB, graphics, etc.) put in anti-static bags and bring as carry-on. I would also check if your monitor doesn't fit in a bag for carry-on.

Yes, I have done this before (I moved halfway around the world). No, its not easy.

I believe this still is true:

Every airline contract specifically says it doesn’t cover lost or stolen electronics, among other things.

I use US Postal Service, UPS or FedEx and get the insurance.
