I recently read something in PC Gamer about transporting computers to LAN Parties and such, and how one should remove their GPU and CPU and package them seperately during transport. Once friggin UPS delivers some stuff to me from newegg, ill be rebuilding my PC which died shortly after I moved to college in fall 05. I'm at my parents now and will be driving 3 hours back to school here in a week or so. After reading this I have to wonder if its worth the effort to take stuff apart like that and reassemble it upon arrival. A part of the concern in the article is that the case will be knocked around etc, however everything will be snug in my car surrounded by other stuff. A Google search on lan parties and transporting computers didn't say anything about this, so I want to know what you all think. However, considering the timing of the last fail (2 weeks after road trip) I can't help but wonder.
Also, I've been through 2 motherboards in this case, sorry if this is the wrong forum, but is it possible for a case to be bad in some way? I know at least one of those mobos was connected to a faulty PSU a few months before it died, which could have been the cause. I just hope this new setup doesn't fry on me.
