So, here I am wondering which suitable casing to buy.... only to be pestered with this question :

"Can I or can I not bring the my CPU into the airplane cabin?"

My previous CPU casing was badly damaged the last time, even with the box, polystyrenes and all~ front panel cracked, side dented,etc.... (I put the CPU in the airplane cargo along with my other luggages)

Can anyone confirm with me, can passengers bring their CPUs into the cabin?

and if anyone had experience about this please tell... do I need to buy special carrying equipments?

thanxx

ive seen a kid carry an entire PC (without box etc, just case and all hardware inside) into the cabin on a MAS flight from KLIA to kuching.

ive also checked in my PC case (empty, with box styro etc) into the cargo with an MAS flight from Singapore to KL. came out fine...just some small dents on the box.

i think u better check if ur case dimensions will be allowed into the cabin or not.

electronic kena TAX kao lat leh. make a fake receipt for the item purchase. and exceed 28kg also need to pay rite? btw international flight or domestic flights?

if coming into malaysia, not for PC items AFAIK

unless ur bringing in large amounts la

i dun see y not.. It's just the people there have to been careful with your casing. If you travel a lot, ever think of goin SFF? small form factor casing which the casing is the shape of a small square box.

coming in i dun knw la. but goin out to SPORE or BRUNEI they do charge. even my aunty brought a pc from here back there using a car, she say need to buang da kotak else takut kena tax for electronic goods leh.

both domestic and international.... but for now my problem is with domestic flight~

really making me having headache~ (nice casing = damaged) uhhhhh

angkut la brother. put onto a lanparty bag. and u angkut it. ur luggage masuk cargo jer.

Aaa... yes... Lanparty bag... I didnt' see that listed in the pricelists here.... anyone know how much it cost? that will probably help~

I plan to buy that as well~

if from east to west malaysia or vise versa i dun think therez a problem for you to just angkut ur pc around. da bag cost u around rm80.

thanx... I'll browse around lowyat this weekend to get it~

get from our forumers cheaper. ader rm55 ader rm60. =p

heheh~ have to get the casing first le, then after that get the lanparty bag~

casing that is capable of storing the following hardware:

for this system:

E6600 2.4
Asus P5B 965P
4GB DDR2 667
Colorful X1550 256MB
2 x BenQ DVD-RW
2 x HDD 250MB

medium sized casing maybe? or at least a casing that fit the dimension required by the MAS / Airasia ?

i was thinking of matrix aluminium with side panel. and super lanboy. both casing lightweight. since u need to bring them around. gurantee fit those thgs u want.
