    Hi All,

    I have recently moved from Ireland to the US.

    I have a gaming pc sitting in Ireland doing nothing. No one uses it. It has a 570GTX and 8GiG of RAM. Not cutting edge by any means, but still very capable.

    I want to ship it from Ireland to the US, but I am worried about it getting damaged. I think I need a double layer heavy duty box, wrap the tower and screen in bubble wrap and used anti-static peanuts to pack the box. The real issue though, is removing the GPU and Heat sync might be beyond my brother. I was thinking that instead, he could pack the inside of the case with air bags to stop any stress on the parts.

    Any idea where these packing items can be bought in the Louth/Meath/Dublin area? I checked Woodies, but they having nothing. Homebase has bubble wrap only. Are there any "packing" shops I'm missing?


    Any tips, advice or tricks are most welcome.

    I'm actually looking for the same thing and I've found little info also. If I manage to find anything, I'll keep you updated.
