the airport baggage handlers arent exacly careful with the luggage.

You pop it in some kind of carry case (I believe there are some out there in the market) or pack it carefully into a regular case with plenty of protection, and then at check-in you register it as oversize/fragile baggage with a small surcharge for the benefit of it. In theory the handlers then only drop it twice instead of eighteen times. It's the same way people fly musical instruments and skis etc.

Musical instruments you just persuade them to let you take it on as hand luggage. But that's not as easy to do with a PC, I guess. Or if you're a cellist or bassist, you book an extra seat for your instrument.

and skies

Belive me skies can take a lot of damage

Back on topic im still not sure if i want to transport my pc by plane...

My euphonium was a hell of a piece of hand-luggage, I can tell you PCs are trickier, given that the smallest PC case (that isn't a laptop) and all the associated trimmings are going to be pretty hefty - and thesedays it seems unlikely they'd pass up the chance to bill you for oversized luggage.


And yes Spaz, I typo'd skis. Git

How long does a boat trip from sweden to england take?
I guess taking the train to gothenburg and then a boat the rest of the way could work.

Cant we just have a stand at dreamhack instead

should hopefully be driving by summer, so depending on dates and location might be able to pick somepeople up on the way

Dunno about Sweden or Swedish Kroner but a year or two ago I saw a ferry to Norway for £55 (inc return)

Shotgun!

I guess I could pick up 4 guys. All the PCs in the back

We drive on the left

I could get a couple of hitchers on the way down if needed.

Damn I'd love to go! But sadly can't

Okay as a friendly tip if just some few people comes you have to make a small but nice LAN then arrange one in the fall more people will and also they who where there last time if it was fun thats how you make a good LAN, start in the small and make a community who meets they will automaticaly drag more people in.

I'm 100%, provided of course it doesn't conflict with My sister's wedding or Ground Zero

i will be there to provide 1337 air support
