  • 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

    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 ☺️
