Transporting Desktop Computer

[Meloco]

Hi,

moving off to uni in the next few days, and will be going back and forth with the desktop pc about 3 times in 8 months, by car. Is putting it in it's case box and putting foam around the PC case sufficient enough to ensure no damage occurs while travelling? (obviously not tawards a crash ). Or should I ideally strip apart the whole PC?

If you have a heavy CPU cooler its good to lay the case on its side to minimise possible damage and/or movment of the CPU/HSF/TIM.

Is an arctic freezer pro 7 considered to be heavy?

thanks for the input guys. It's going to be a 4 hour trip (mostly motorways), but there are enough bumps on one road to warrant it a side seating
