Taking my Desktop PC on a plane (in the hold) yes or no?

[AshVX220]

Hi All,
I've recently moved abroad for a while and initially left my PC at home, I'm thinking of bringing it back with me when I take a brief trip to the UK in May.

Firstly, is it OK to bring a PC with me, if it's just in my suitcase?

And if so, is there anything you'd do "prep-wise" to it in readiness for the flight?

Finally, am I likely to get extra interest from Customs for bringing it over?

Cheers all
Ash

Will there be a problem with powering it where ever you have moved?

I'm in the US and as I understand it, the PSU is dual power selectable, I just need to get a US kettle lead and flick a switch in the PSU. Or I'll get a new PSU.

Ha-ha, beaten to it, by seconds!

OK cool,
thanks all, looks like it's possible then, will follow everyone's advice and strip the HDD and SSD out, plus the Graphics card etc.
Cheers, virtual beers all round ()

Hey all,
thanks for the advice, I ended up just taking out the HDD, SSD and Graphics Card, bubble wrapping the lot and all was good. Got back here yesterday, put a new PSU in it and all good.
Thanks once again to all those that replied.
