- This is a tale of how I took my Desktop PC overseas. Hopefully it can help anyone who is looking to do this, too.
I give some good travel tips, flying tips, and packing tips for flying internationally with a computer from the US to Scotland - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I found vids online explaining how to do it this.. but your video is wild. Perfect! You have done a great JOB, Thanks!
I put by case inside the baggage with a hard shell and checked in, I traveled like this many times and nothing happened to my computer.
i need advice.
What if you have long fly? Not only in uk
What hard shell you made ?
@@VITAS874 my case was mATX so I just put the case in between the cloths. I just removed the HDDs from the case. Now I have a eATX so I have to take more precautions.
@@VITAS874 It’s not about long or short flight. It’s about the luggage loading and unloading.
I had hope that I could complete this process successfully, until I realized that I won't find a Harry Potter lego box. I'm devastated!
On a serious note, great video, thanks for sharing!
I fit a Corsair mini-ITX build and an xg17 monitor inside an airline approved hard shell carryon luggage. I pay for an early boarding fee. Never had to gate-check it.
dude thanks for sharing your experience! Idk why its so hard to find info on this topic. Anyways, I'm moving to Australia next year and you just saved my pc LOL
This is very helpful! I’m currently getting prepared for a big move and since I’m bringing my dog with me (pets normally count as carry-on luggage on most airlines) I have to put my pc in checked luggage. Now all I need to do is figure out which pieces are which and remember where each part belongs and hopefully I’ll be good to go ☺️
thank you, a very helpful video. I am going to be flying from NY to Sofia, Bulgaria with an overlay in istanbul. I have to do the same thing with my Alienware R10.
I'm a year late but greetings from Istanbul!
Nice! I'm from Scotland actually, I hope you are having/had a good time there. I'm leaving Japan soon and I really do not want to sell my gaming PC.
what the result 1 year after ? i'm going to do the same
Thanks for the video, im planning on moving to the uk from the us in the near future and got a desktop pc i've been worried about.
I was playing Halo music in the background in Spotify then I just realized there was 2 halo songs in my earbuds haha. Nice thanks for the advice
I'm thinking of removing all the components and just buying a new enclosure here in the phillipines when I get back but your video looks easier and I do have two free checked bags so I'll probably do that. Going to get new monitor and MK here
That's not a bad idea. Just have to get a compatible motherboard
now i am terrified to put my luggage in an airplane... thanks
I'm also someone who does a lot of work on a desktop traveling to... Scotland... for Uni. Huh. This video might be more helpful than i thought LOL
You don't need the case , which is heavy to run your PC fyi
If it's for short travel I'd just make sure it's grounded and use open case setup
Bro is solving world problem
liked for the giles corey wallpaper
I was thinking about disassembling the whole PC, bringing each of the components separately, and buying a case in the new place lol
I love the Halo song in the second half of the video.
I'm trying to fly with my PC overseas next month. Did airport security not open the suitcase to check what is inside?
No they actually didn't even open my suitcase. Even if they do, it's not like they're going to do anything to your computer anyway 👍
@@Hazzanger And did not you have to declare it or something?
I need to back to my home country for a year or two and i have a fully setup gaming desktop with a freaking hella big Lian Li case and 2x 27" monitors and a hella a lot of scale models and i am freaking out how i can pack this one up LOL
monitor is crazy
Why
Yea just the way it was placed in the suit case lol
I'm planning to just take the entire PC with me as carry-on luggage. It is within the weight and size limits. What do you think ?
how did it work out for you? im planning on doing the same thing
@@PhenBruh man I ended up taking it apart and carrying it as separate components.
@@lijothomas8398 same here lmao
@@lijothomas8398 did you carry your psu and did they let you?
@@diemquach9041 yeah in check in. No problem.
Great video
Im moving to japan soon and im from the us and I'm about to do the same thing u did lmao but I have a really beefy PC hopefully it doesn't break lmaoo
same. I'm thinking of taking off every component and put it in my bag as carry on luggage that I can actually carry instead of the overhead compartment. Case as checked in luggage with as many clothes I can put inside and around it. On top of that just one month of premium google drive subscription to back up everything to prepare for the worst. I wonder if you've already moved and how's your PC doing. :)
@@vira2936 yea ive already moved, I took most of my components off like the GPU, AIO , power cords, and some of my screens in the PC. I have a lian li case so I was able to fit a lot of clothes inside of it and I also put clothes a layer of masking tape around the glass panels. The only thing in the PC case was the motherboard, CPU, ram, and the nvme. I checked all of those in and I carried my GPU in my bag as carry on lmaoo. Wasnt trying to have that break
@@vira2936 and so far nothing broke while flying but I suggest if you are moving to a different country try to have less stops on ur flight
Thank you!
Did TSA really open your case? I would be afraid of them stealing my GPU or breaking components.
juat throw the components with some bubble wrap in your carry on luggage.
how did you plug in your pc? I have a 800 psu and i'm trying to figure out how to do this now.
but what if i have a 27" monitor 😭😭, i have the box tho, but i dont think it's enough
This was the last place I'd expect to see the Giles Corey cover art
i thought u couldn't fly with over 100W so how did the power supply make it?
Can I take just graphic card on my back bag on the plane
That's exactly what I did, sorry if that wasn't clear
This is really helpful. I am moving to England and I don't want my pc to stay in India.
How did it go?
I want to get my pc from the UK to germany and im terrified of it getting damaged or questioned in security 😢
omg why do you use such an old monitor??) because its small? I had such model like 15 years ago
id just leave it behind and find an old tv when i arrived!
What's the name of the outro song ??
So where did you put your power supply, gpu, ram? On hand carry?
you can see the gpu in his case
Can I bring a graphics card and processor (box packed) in carry on luggage?
Does TSA make you remove the GPU from its box? I bought a new GPU and dont want to remove it from its box.
i'm trying to fly with my xbox one overseas next 10days did airport security not open the suitcase to check what is inside?
They actually didn't open the big suitcase at all. Just my carryon
im going to canada for a year wanted take my gaming pc did security say anything
Security didn't say anything. I went through 5 terminals and they only opened my carryon to look at my GPU
@@Hazzanger oh ok thanks
Did you put your PC in a suit case and carry on luggage?
@@mikael5028 carry on it when smoothly they didnt question anything except wait limit which i was willing to pay for either way i didnt get stopped by security or anyone i really was just really careful with the pc so yea it turned on and worked like normal
@@hadimanzar245i need help. From Which country you move? I need to bring ut from pakistan to saudiarabia.
Hello,
I am planning on taking my pc overseas too in a few months from England to USA do you have any tips about anything I should know and what do I need to change my plug power? for it to work over there?
If your computer is newer, the power supply should have a rating of 110v-220v. Look at the inside of your computer to check it
@@Hazzangeri'm trying to fly with my xbox one overseas next 10days did airport security not open the suitcase to check what is inside?
Hi, I am actually hoping to take my pc overseas from USA to England soon, did you run in to any troubles?
Even packed your screen lol
Okay bro i have a question I'm going to india soon and thinking to buy a custom pc, so can i take it to my country I won't be buying psu cuz yk why. and I'll be throwing the boxes away because otherwise they might charge me? And I'll take a pic of the warranties... can i take it?
is it because the psu is too much watts
Watt limit is on lithium batteries an ld they can explode @@diemquach9041
Good ❤❤❤
Can you give me the size for the suitcase please :)
Do I have to take them out?
Or is.that recommended?
Is it necessary to take the parts out of the computer? I’m not sure I would be able to put them back correctly
1000% percent yes. All the rattling and handling of your suitcase can cause damage to your components.
it seems scary if you have never done it but honestly building a pc is quite self explanatory
I’m planning to fly to Australia from PHilippines next week with Singapore Airlines and with my CPU desktop.Any advice ? Thanks much.
How was the experience? Did you actually carry your pc?
do i have to carry on my psu? or can i leave it in my checked baggage? im travelling to canada from ph
aight
Can u bring computer keyboard on the plane?
Yes you can! I took my detached keyboard through security in my carryon luggage
Im bringing pc parts onto a plane, should i put my custom psu cables into carry on or luggage, im bringing my gpu and ssds in my backpack as carry on
Did it work ?
Can we get answers
What if I have a tempered glass shield :/
My PC also has a tempered glass. I'm moving to UK next week and I'm gonna need to buy a new computer case. What did you do?
@@FanFridaDuncan401 Hey , Even I'm planning to move to UK for Studies but I don't think Tempered Glass will be an issue unless you secure everything properly
@@xDreamSmp hi! I actually dissambled my pc and letting my tempered glass back in my country. Now I regret it because I assembled my pc again and is not working. You're right, probably the tempered glass would have worked out pretty good!
Oops :(
@@FanFridaDuncan401 That's my biggest worry , I'm not professional so Max to Max I would only disassemble my GPU and Maybe CPU . Btw did you ship your PC as a Carry On ? If yes then did security tell you to open your baggage ?
One of my main worry is security asking me to open everything
@@xDreamSmp well, that was not my biggest concern but at the end I still have the problem of see what is happening. I'm not a pro either so I'm gonna hire a technician. I put my pc in the checked luggage, I arrived to the Heathrow Airport and no one asked me to open it, there was so many people no one cared about me haha
ok...
What about glass ? 😂
The pc its not worth paying the bag 😂
size of th monitor?
what about tax and VAT?
Wtf with your voice ?! 😂😂
its an apple.. its an apple ...
Wait this isn't from 2021 is it?
it is 🤭
