Moved into the new house today...what a colossal shit show. I hope I never have to move again in this lifetime.
THe worst part is, there is still so much crap left at the old place, I'll be there all day tomorrow pacing it up and preparing much of it for disposal. On top of that, we'll be unpacking in the new house for the next year.
Actually, that isn't the worst part. The worst part was watching, in slow motion, as my gaming rig crashed to the ground from the back of my Durango as I raised the rear gate. I was in utter disbelief after the event and it took a few seconds for what had just happened to sink in. The front of the case shot off, but I was able to snap it back on. There is a nasty crack in the top left corner, but when I shake the box, I don't hear anything rattling around...I hope that is a good sign. I'm afraid to set it up and try to power on. I'll try to find the emotional courage tomorrow.
clearly you don't move enough - if you did, you'd've had a better plan to move the gaming rig! ;)
Moving sucks. Hope the rig is okay.
my 22nd move in 23 years was last month - you need a better plan!
the PC goes in the front seat with a safety belt after its wrapped in a blanket.
Damn JH! Hope the mobo didn't crack...
You may want to open up the case and make sure all components are properly seated in their respective slots before flipping the switch tomorrow.
Sad to say but what Star posted above is exactly what I have done with my PCs.
Good luck JH.
we're the smarter Tribesmen Gus. ;)

2 things:
1. are you Keith Moons love child?
2. if you're moving that much perhaps the planning deficiency is yours. :)
At one point I did 34 moves in 34 years. I slowed down after that and only picked up 4 more in the next 8. I'm done for a few decades now. It would take a lot to pry me out of this place.
Jews should know how to move things quickly and safely!
JH I'm terribly sorry to read that. Hopefully it's nothing more than cosmetic. Keep us posted.
Ouch, that's a kick to the nads.
They say that moving is the 3rd most stressful thing the average person experiences, behind death of a loved one and divorce... I am sure loss of a gaming rig for a grog is right up there too.

I'll remember to ask your purchasing advice the next time I need a good 'burner' phone or safe house in the Baltics...
OK...so, seems to have taken a lickin', but its still tickin'.
System is up and running. I haven't tested everything out, but the essentials seem to be all go. I hope it accepts my sincerest apology and assurance that such an incident will never happen again.
Phew - well done

Fried bread? I want some.
Good to go, JH...perhaps you dodged a bullet!

+1 I can't second both these sentiments enough.

Damn. And I thought 14 times in the last 20 years was a lot... :o

Yep, that's what I used to do. With my current vehicle, I can now wedge my tower onto the floor of my back seat, as it's a narrow enough space (if the front seat is all the way back) that it automatically keeps the tower in place. :)

Whew! Sounds like a bullet dodged. Good deal. O0
Lets not be to judgemental, hes just a lawyer after all. :uglystupid2:
Glad to hear that your gaming rig survived!
