Hello! Im moving to japan for a semester of college at Kansai Gaidai Uni, and I want to bring my desktop and have debated converting it to a small form factor build without liquid cooling to make it into carry on size for when I fly, which im unsure if its considered a good idea, and sometimes I worry it may get seized, however one time I have brought PC parts with me on a flight within the US and I have been fine.
Personally id like to make it into a small form factor before I leave to go to Japan so I have nothing to worry about and I can have it all together and ready to go for school, but I’ve heard of many just buying the case power supply when they get to japan instead, which im unsure what stores id have to go to to get those since ive yet to be there.
What should I do? I am up to any suggestions!
EDIT: I forgot to add, I do a lot of work with the power my PC has that I use for income to sustain myself, hence it being a necessity for me to bring, worst case I WILL just bring a laptop, but I want to entertain the idea since I’d still like to continue the work I do while I am abroad.
EDIT 2: for others just seeing this, I will be following in accordance with Japan’s labor laws and I have been waiting on word from Japan’s immigration department, I don’t plan to break laws over me wanting to work on videos! If you need any additional information ask away!
