[GTALUG] tips on packing computers?

[William Park]

Whether you're boxing them or not, my advice is to use those plastic 
shipping wrap.  It looks like cling wrap for food, but much stronger and 
thicker.  It prevents scratches and holds stuff together.  It reduces 
the amount of padding needed, hence the number of boxes. Surprisingly, 
you can even wrap clothes, big ones separately, small ones together.
