Shipping PC overseas - any ideas how to pack it?

[GoodToGo]

I will be shipping my PC in a carton box via ship freight, anyone have any ideas as to how to pack it to minimize damage?

if you have the original styrofoam that went around the case use it and lots of packing peanuts.

Double box, remove heatsink.

i had my computer shipped to me from texas to korea.

luckily i boxed it in its original box, they sent it single boxed, and i couldnt ask them to remove the heatsink.

arrived in one piece, just had to reseat the RAM and it worked 100%.

carrier was fedex international saver or whatever, it was the cheapest one

luckily, my heatsink was a 3 lug one. (thermalright AX-7) with athlon 2200

Where would I get the packing peanuts and the bubblewrap?
