I gotta thunderstorm... in a box! I was flying back from Miami on Friday and had to check 4 items (2 suitcases, the LCD, and that box--my tower) plus carry on 2 more. That's the result. Needless to say, the tower won't be flying again.

Oh noes.
I think you need to print the "fragile" in 200 Front so they can see.

That sucks, airlines suck to be more exact. Sorry about your losses, are you going to try and dispute it?
I've always thought the best thing to ship a computer in on a plane would be a pet carrier, because only real dicks would throw around a box that says "LIVE PET" on the side.

The airlines are absolute monsters. The violence of the luggage handlers towards luggage is obscene, and they should all be fired immediately. My old high school orchestra recently went to europe, and the kids were forced to sit in the airport and watch the luggage handlers violently throw their 5k+ cellos into and around the plane. Unsurprisingly, several of them wound up in complete splinters on the other end, and these things get packed WELL. Luckily, when I went a few years before, they only managed to completely demolish my case.
And then the airlines wonder why they're all going bankrupt... maybe they should take a glance at the carnage their employees wreak on the tarmac.
