Logistics of PC transport to/from Uni *opinions gained from experience*

[Fluff_eei]

Hi,

I am set to start Uni in October (Maths at either Cambridge or Warwick, just for the record) and obviously am going to be taking my precious and highly invested in desktop with me. However, terms are only 8 weeks, and so I will also still be spending a good deal of time at home. The question, to those with experience in such situations, is this: does it get annoying? It'd mean I'd have to get driven to/from Uni each time I go/come home as neither place is desperately keen on you taking a car, in fact Cambridge seem to try very hard to stop you. So, what are everyone's thoughts?

Also, I have z-5500 speakers, meaning I have a mahoosive sub to lug as well as desktop unit. And a little worried about stuff getting nicked.

I thought a possible solution might be to have a unit for WoW and internet at one place, and my main x1900xt desktop at the other? And, for the record, I'm not taking a laptop because speed typing notes for maths just isn't efficient.

Sorry for the long post, awaiting answers/ideas.

Sounds like an idea at least, although a lot of hastle. The two speakers plan sounds like a good idea, saves a lot of bulk. But sure posting the base unit is very expensive and a little worrying? I know, remove the heatsink, but still. Anyone with experience of this situation?

I've got my offer from Queens' college too! Small world eh? Thinking about speakers and stuff, I'd really quite like to take/show off them . Thanks for all the input everyone, sounds like I'll just have to pray my parents are feeling nice, and get over having to move everything each term.
