I moved over 4000 miles away with overseas shipping on a pallet that traveled about half the distance in a truck by land.
Here is how I did it:
GPU in its original box since that was made for sea shipping.
HDDs taken out, wrapped in foam, and put in boxes.
Other components stayed in the case, but the case was filled with large air pocket packing material to support the air cooling block. Computer was then put in the original case box and stored with the orientation of the cooling block vertical. The side to side movement is eliminated with the packing material and less stress was placed. Safer yet would be to remove the cooler if it is air.
If you have a glass side panel, make sure it is surrounded by packing material.
That is it! Everything arrived in perfect condition except for some books which got wet from the humid saltwater air in an enclosed space.
I really never understand why right wing governments without exception choose to not only hinder, but actively remove green energy. Like, I get hindering it because they are all owned by fossil fuel oligarchs, but actually spending taxpayer money to dismantle it makes no sense whatsoever. It is already there, just ignore it??? There is literally no downside to just ignoring it. If the right shut the fuck up about green energy and just went with it, they could solve half of their impending “immigrant problem” and could focus effort on fucking up and making other parts of the country worse like they want… Plus if climate change ends up not being “a hoax” 🙄, then they get to continue being parasites instead of their nationalism and identity falling apart as the world does.
