I've got a decent PC I want to bring back to Korea with me. The problems are:

1.) It's a big-size tower. Freaking huge size is probably more appropriate. I know I can find a suitcase to shove it in. Will it be safe though?

2.) Will the power supply be able to handle Korean juice? Are most power supplies robust enough to go from 110 to 220 and all I'll need is a new cord?

Thanks much.

Take all the parts out of the com and pack them well (box or suitcase). Don't bring the power supply or case, u can buy a psu for 25,000 here. However, I suggest u spend a little more and get a zalman psu 600w (89,0000) And u can pick up a case here for around 20 - 30,000w.

These days, luggage weight requirements are so strict, I don't see why anyone would bring a system over. I'd bring parts, like a good video card or CPU, but that would be about it.
