whats the risks of transporting a CPU via an airplane? should i hand carry it or just place it along with my other luggages? any suggestions? dili ba maguba ang hard disk or ang memory ani?

be careful with your heatsink sa CPU. If it's not secured correctly it could fall off and damage your motherboard / videocard.

This happened to me before pero that was with a Socket A heatsink which had a weak retension mechanism.

Other than that, it shouldnt be a problem. Just make sure to put it in its styro box and carton.

in my case last april to make sure i put it in a crate made of plywoood...pero sa sulod plywood naay painted carton para gahi kaau ang carton dili sya ma piko or whatsoever..then inside the carton are pillows, then ang akong CPU..so wa jud problema pag abot diri sa cebu sa ako CPU..

As for my experience wla pa man koy na-encounter nga problema..3 times na nko ng-plane dala ang akoa CPU and kaluoy sa diyos wla koy na-encounter nga nadaut akoa CPU..sa iyaang carton ra nko gbutang and just wrote sa carton nga its FRAGILE and DELIKADO.

disassemble and put them on there original packaging to make sure nothing will happen.

I did the same thing last January this year.. inside my case was the ff: PSU (cables tied), Mobo, CPU, Sound Card, Optical Drives..

I just used the box that came along with the case, wala lang nako gi declare ug fragile kay they will ask me to open it there and maka bayad sad ko tax..

I hand carried the HDD's, Coolers ug GFX Card..

Nope.. I had mine passed over 3 stop overs and wala may naguba.. (Just pack it with carbon paper inside)

secure lang gyud ang mga naa sa sulod bai. kanang dili mangatangtang. and dont forget to request for a 'fragile' tape on your box. kuhaa ang mga sensitive nga parts just like what envy 64ht did.

i do same thing everytime i had my vacation, so far no problem. its either an assembled one or a CPU and other computer parts.

as long as you use the original box for the case and packaging of the item, its safe and about being damaged by X-ray i dont think so! yup please request for a fragile sticker, that would certainly help.
