Why would you put a case face down? Do you still have the box and styrofoam that came with the case?

The case is humongous. I can put it in the box with the styrofoam, but have to lay it down in the trunk because it is too big to fit in the back seat of my Mazda 3. I'm afraid leaving it in the trunk for a 2 day move across the country is a bad idea. I don't know if putting it in a UHAUL is a good idea either, but I could at least keep it upright I guess.
It all seems unsafe though.
When are we going to find out more about Nvidia's 800 series? I've heard it's coming in late September, but I need details.

degrees and certificates don't guarantee everything
what would be the difference between having it in your trunk and in a UHAUL? The times when I have ordered PC's online they come double boxed and with a lot of styrofoam. The boxes usually are beat up as well. I think it would be safer if you just take it yourself.
how is that mazda 3 though?

Do you still have the original box?
Yes
I usually just ship it out in its original box and add more padding on the sides if needed. Basically creating a casket inside the original box so that it wont move.
Get brown paper and shield every square inch inside that damn thing. Make sure there are no loose cables inside your build either.
I would assume that the original box for the 900D is not some cheap flimsy POS, so it should work very well in your case.
Thanks. There is only styrofoam at the top and bottom, so I guess I'm gonna have to pad that shyt like crazy. I'm still worried about the hardware moving inside the case, but I guess I could just be being paranoid.
shyt is gonna cost a ton to ship and I dunno if I can trust them to handle my box with care.
Maybe putting it in the UHAUL is the way to go. Just pad that shyt and throw it in the UHAUL. At least then I'll know it's secure in the truck and what not.
I got some thinking to do though. I love my case, but it's just so fukking big. I wish it was easier to move.
yeah, rumor is september, but it will probably just be the high-end card first (880, 890?), with the 'lesser' cards following in the months to come. we mighty not see the 860 until next year. as far as performance, I think I heard the 880 will be ~20% faster that the 780, and I imagine more efficient. but I'll wait for real benchmarks before really trying to say anything about all that
to be clear, this is just my own speculation based on how nvidia has done things in the past. they could flip the script and do things different this time
shyt should be straight in the padded box, as long as nothing too crazy happens
last time I moved, I just wedged my case between some boxes in the uhaul

Yeah, I think putting it in the UHAUL is the way to go. I'll just pad it up and hope for the best
I'm a big fan of my Mazda 3. I highly recommend it. It's been doing me well for a few years now.
Maybe the prices on some of the lesser cards will fall. Might be a good time to grab a 780 which should be able to handle most games for the immediate future. When the 780 ti came out I got this 780 windforce oc for like under $400 slightly.
