Safe to ship an entire computer?

[aphex]

Going to be selling my rig next week on here (either as a whole or parted out)

How safe is it to ship an entire rig if need be? I know the pc companies do it all the time, but is there anything i should be aware of?

Are packing peanuts my new best friend since i no longer have the original case box?

You need more than peanuts to secure your system.

throw in your old, used, dirty pillows and stuff them in the box

I would wrap the whole thing in bubble wrap then use packing peanuts to fill the rest of the gap. Thats how i sold two of my monitors.

Make sure you don't have a really heavy HS attached to the CPU socket.

Find some firm that can do the packaging and shipping for you. I got my Laptop wripped and sent by such a firm. I am in europe but there this firm has branches also overseas: http://go.mappoint.net/mbe/PrxInput.aspx LINK to direct search of your region.
