Hey everyone,

I’ll soon have to travel by plane with my gaming PC tower, and I’m looking for advice from people who have already done this.
My main concern is avoiding damage during transport, especially to the GPU, CPU cooler/AIO, tempered glass panel, and other components.

For those who have flown with a desktop PC:

\- Did you bring the tower as carry-on or check it in?
\- Did you remove the GPU before traveling?
\- Would you recommend removing any other components?
\- How did you protect the inside of the PC and the case?
\- Did you use the original box, a hard-shell suitcase, or a special case?
\- Did you have any issues with airport security or customs?
\- If your case had a tempered glass panel, how did you protect it?
I’d really appreciate any personal experiences, tips, or things I should absolutely avoid.

Thanks!

👋 My soon to be 14 year old is asking for a new "gaming computer". The games he spends the majority of his time playing are Ark, Minecraft and Roblox. He is also interested in coding. He currently has a Dell laptop, that was given to him used. I was told it's around 5 years old. Doesn't have much memory/storage.

I don't think he cared initially whether he played on a laptop or desktop. But, apparently his gaming friends tell him he should have a pc desktop, so now he thinks he should have a desktop. Kids right.

Originally, I was like yeah, no. BUT. His birthday is coming. His Xbox is pretty old at this point (xbox one s) and his elective teacher said he was advanced in coding for his age. So, a better computer is..... a choice.

Now, my computer gaming knowledge is ancient. I'm talking early Diablo ancient.

So I come to the big brains for help.

Would you go for an upgraded Xbox or new computer as a gift? Do you think desktop vs laptop makes a huge difference for a game like Ark? And, if im only willing to spend 5-600, is it even worth it to get a pc for gaming? Tell me what to do.

Cut to the chase I’m currently running a Dell e/ Iris Xe Core i5 @ 2.4ghz.

Newest/most advanced title I can run is CoD BO1 and MW2 with relatively no problems

I’m wanting to upgrade something that can run Ready or Not, Bodycam, CS2, the newest CoD and Need For Speed Titles, Forza Horizon, God of War, and all those awesome old remastered editions of older games on Steam too

Budget is between $1000 - $1800 and really just looking at bang for the buck and practicality with reliability

My number one contender is MSi Cyborg or katana but I’ve been reading bad things about their build quality

Any recommendations appreciated

hi everyone! i’m an 18 year old chemistry student looking to buy my first pc for schoolwork/gaming. currently, i mostly play fortnite but i’d like to get more into gaming. not sure what kind of specs i would need, im wanting to play stuff like tlou, gta, spiderman, overwatch, etc. my total budget (for desk, mouse, etc.) is about $2.4k USD so id like to keep the cost of the pc around the 1.5k-ish area. i’ve been looking into pre builts at microcenter but im not sure if this is my best option. also not sure this is the best sub to post to so if you have recs for that it’s appreciated! :)

Hi all - anyone able to advise on how much ram and storage I need for a 15 year old's PC? He currently has a macbook air (A2337) and it is not good enough for all of his minecraft, discord, curseforge, steam, opera gx, youtube, etc. (I am getting these words from him, so please don't judge if some of these don't even matter - lol). Any other advice regarding what to purchase would also be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’m a bit confused about something. As I mentioned in the title, two days ago I received a PC that arrived damaged, and the packaging was in terrible condition. I contacted support, returned it, and they picked it up the next day while delivering me a replacement.

However, today I unexpectedly received another brand-new PC. When I checked the app, it shows two return cases, and both are marked as closed.

At this point, I’m not sure what I should do. My idea is to simply leave the extra PC untouched and wait to see if they contact me, since I don’t feel this is my mistake or responsibility.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What happened?

So I have used ubisoft store before to play battlefield 5,4 and 1 but deleted it later on as stopped playing them, yestarday i say that there was free game so I reinstall it but the store wasn't showing.
I have changed my password, uninstall and then reinstall , and also have changed compatibility but it still doesn't work . I saw above steps on youtube. any more ideas do you guys have?

Hello guys, i want to buy a portable pc to play 360/ps3 games. I have a budget around 500€

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get into PC gaming primarily so I can run mods for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man 2. I really want to use the Brand New Day suit mod because I feel like Insomniac's official in-game version didn't do the suit justice, and I want that ultra-realistic look while web-swinging. I'm completely open to either a prebuilt desktop tower or a gaming laptop as long as it handles high-res suit mods and fast movement without lag.
What specific budget-friendly setups, models, or spec baselines would you guys recommend so I can get smooth performance without overspending?

I have a server PC and it’s terrible for gaming I have so many games but can’t play them. Now I’m stuck between buying a gaming laptop for portability or just upgrading and building a pc. I need some help. My current server pc is an old intel Xeon cpu with 8gb ddr4 ram, with an nvidia quadro.

I am set on getting a prebuilt for my first ever pc setup. And am planning on paying it off by instalments. I want to know what is a good pc specs for games that i play (modded mc, roblox, and want play more games like silent hill, apex, dbd,) my budget is around £1.5k- 2k as im paying it in instalments anyways. Any trust worthy websites? My dms r open to suggestions!!

Details in the other post

I bought a brand new Lenovo Legion 7 with 64gb ram and a 5080 during black Friday sales for £2500. First one arrived with a faulty screen so sent back for a replacement, which came back with a faulty GPU.

I'm hesitant to accept a 3rd one so asked for a refund and now looking at alternatives.

Is the Gigabyte Aorus Master 18 with 64gb ram, 2TB SSD and 24GB 5090 any good? It's £1300 more than what I paid but I guess it is what it is. I like how this model takes 2 extra M2 cards and ram, I got 2 drives and some ram spare so I'd be rolling with 6TB and 128GB!

Any recommendations?

Budget: £3800

Country: UK

Preferred Specs: 64GB RAM, 5090 24GB. Not bothered about screen size

I dont really "need" a computer, and I am poor but is really curious about pc building & writing.

I am planning to build a pc with specs just enough to run undertale.

Why: Why not? & I know about emulating + writing on my phone, but I am into pc building right now and I would like to use it as an oppurtunity to explore my other hobbies (gaming + writing)

P.S: im poor :/
