Hi all,
I want to bring a pc tower to the UK from my home in Spain,travelling, Ryanair. I cannot find any set rules via google or airline. It has been suggested by a friend that I remove the cpu to hand luggage but I would sooner ship it in one. Any advice much appreciated.( I know it will get rough handling but no more than if I send it by carrier ?) thanks P

wouldnt have though removing anything would make any difference specially the cpu, and there's no battery in it apart from the very small motherboard one,

thanks ivor4781, gives me lots to think about !
Would it not be safer to remove the hard drive and take that in your hand baggage?

mjwman,thanks for your reply, that seems like a very good idea, I can then get my 'techie' in the UK to reinstall and check all is ok. P
