So, my son got his first badass gaming PC for Christmas. Problem is he flies back to his mother's house in a week. I don't trust Baggage Handlers not to destroy it. Even though it would be packaged in a hard suitcase with the necessary bubble wrap and padding. I even have an internal pad designed to fit inside perfectly and protect the internals. My Question is have any of you checked a PC at an airport? And What was the outcome? Should I try to devise a way of making it a carry on? all suggestions and info is welcome.
