vipulpradhan Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hi All, I'm moving to Hyderabad for a few months. Carrying my desktop PC and PS4 along with 23-inch monitor. I'll be flying SpiceJet from Mumbai. 1. Disassembled PC One each of [Motherboard, CPU + Fan, Graphic Card, DVD-ROM Drive] One x 23inch Monitor & stand (have original box packing) Two x RAM Three x Hard disks Power HDMI & SATA cables 2. PS4 Main unit One x DS4 Power & HDMI cable 3. PS4 game discs + Bluray discs Around 15-20 nos. total I'll be buying new cabinet and SMPS from Hyderabad. Pack everything in anti-static bags with bubble-wrap, and use clothes as padding Use hard plastic box for DS4 Will carry invoices for almost everything except the discs Called SpiceJet customer care number, and they said these items will be allowed as check-in baggage. A. Carry along in checked-in baggage B. Use courier service with insurance Anyone here who has experience with a similar situation, what would be the ideal way? Any other tips and suggestions?

The Wolfy among us Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Check in baggage with a lot of clothing and bubble wrap would be good enough. I'd suggest taking the PS4 along with you in your cabin baggage if you don't have much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b!T Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I have carried ps4/ps3 and lot of discs.Normally bubble wrap/placing in between clothes do the job well. However i am not sure how safe it is to carry a disassembled PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 For the PC, you can send it via GATI (I used their service from Bangalore to Delhi). The only components you should get out of them is the hard-drive(s) and keep them on your person, everything else in the PC is more than capable of taking a couple of bumps as long as the chassis is kept in a secure package (original / substitute carboard box) with a layer or two of bubble wrap. Also, remove the CPU cooler if it a tall tower type third-party design. That might snap off. Hope this helps, Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
