I am going to take some desktop computer components from US on an International flight.
I was confused as to whether I should carry them in my ‘Check-in’ baggage or as ‘Carry-on’ baggage.
I’m taking with me these components: RAM, Motherboard, Intel CPU, Video Card, Wireless Mouse, Hard Disk.
If any of you guyz have travelled before with such stuff, plz advice me as to whether is it safe to put these parts in ‘check-in’ baggage? Do any of these break or get damaged if you carry them in ‘Check-in’ baggage?
Also, if I carry these individual parts (not assembled) as Carry-on luggage, will I have some problem with the airport security people? (F.Y.I. these are generally available, cheap to average cost components.) Are these allowed to be taken as carry-on luggage? If not, then which of these is not allowed?
Thanx a lot in advance.

probably is ok. might have some explaining to do, but maybe not. i recently checked a bag full of audio equipment (cables, effects units, etc.). the x-ray had to have looked sweet with the motherboards and crap all in there, but they didn’t even make me unzip the bag. depends on the day.
I have carried all sorts of parts in my carry on tool kit, only ith out the tools of course. just make sure you leave your tools in "checked" luggage. But in my years of traveling i have never had a problem with this.
