Are there any PC tower carrying/moving cases that you’d recommend?

I’m moving in about a month, and was curious if there was a case anyone would recommend for moving my PC. Last time, I used non-static foam and a cardboard box, but I’d like something a little more protective and supportive this time.

Unless you have a water cooled system there is no reason to go overboard on crating your PC. If it has glass panels then you may want to wrap them up separately but a standard PC does not need any special protection.

My PC is already built. I’m referring to a case to move the tower to my new apartment.

Ok since there is a language barrier here in simple terms if your pc is not water cooled or have glass panels you don't need to have any special materials to box it up.

Language barrier? For you or me? I said it was already built because you said not to go overboard on “crafting” my PC.

Just take the GPU out of it and if you're real concerned take the cpu cooler off. It'll be fine as its just a metal box most likely. Move, reassemble. I've moved 3x across country with 5 rigs no issues in the car or uhauls that way.

Every time I have done this I put my PC in a back seat. Put a towel over it. Then secured it with a seatbelt.

I kept my tower box. If I need to move my PC a significant distance, back in the Styrofoam and cardboard it goes.

I unfortunately did not keep mine.
