PC on a train

It may cost a bit but another idea some people I know use is a smaller case / mini-atx depending on yuor mobo. And thern just have main hd and components in it for the journey. Actualy thats prolly a stupid idea as you would need new pc parts too :p

Only thought of it cause some people I know at lans have one of those wheely suitcases and fit a tft and a case in it. Might be able to do that with a normal tower actually.

I've visited chip recycling plants where they chuck boards around in skips, tip them out on the floor, heat the whole boards up to a couple of hundred degrees and have no static protection what so ever.

Electronics factories and such are designed to prevent buildup of static electricity, floor and all tables surfaces are made from antistatic material and grounded. (same goes for all equipment)
 
i wouldnt wrap anything inside the computer with bubble wrap as its likely to suffer static. Wrap the outside by all means or stop being a cheapskate and get it couried for £8 . Best bet tbh
 
My Dad runs a courier business, using UPS. I'd not actually considered this, but I would certainly have to either remove the heatsink (Took me 2 hours to put on last time! Its a 'remove the motherboard + lots of fiddley screws' type job T_T ), or stuff something inside to prevend it being bumped around all over the shop. Plus, its a fairly big box, so would likly end up being more than £8.
But good idea! I'll ask parents :3
 
100 points to whoever suggested the courier idea. It would be cheap, and easier than lugging the PC around the train station. The only problem is timing. It would be possible to give the PC to UPS on the tuesday and have it arrive on wednesday at the lan. However, I need to be at home all Tuesday to run aforementioned courier company as my parents are at the hospital. And nobody would be at home to gve the PC to UPS.

So, I'm going to have to bring it with me on the train, unless there are any very kind and tustworthy people in Newcastle who would collect the PC from my place and let me give their address to UPS so they can collect it from there instead. I'm in Fenham, Sidney Grove if it helps :3
Not getting my hopes up for this plan, though :p
