Moving a WC PC

[therealdippy]

I'm going to move house and to be safe I'll take my PC in the car. I plan to drain the system, remove the graphics card and carefully pack a towel in the case to absorb any residual coolant in case it leaks. I will then put the case in it's original box which includes the polystyrene packing and lay it flat in the boot (i.e. motherboard horizontal), perhaps on a few towels to absorb shocks. Any comments on this plan (especially from anyone else who has done the same)?

Thanks for the replies. It's a 125 mile journey which usually takes 2.5 hours. I have confidence that I could ship it without draining except for the GPU. It is supported with a bracket, but nevertheless I don't want to take the risk - some of the roads on the journey are not quite up to the high standard we have become used to in the UK, and it would just need a bad jolt and bad luck to cause damage. So if I remove the GPU then it's best to drain it - something I have not done for a few years, so it's a good excuse for a flush and refill with fresh coolant. It's good to know that others have not had problems by doing less so I should be OK!
