I'm moving to LA soon, and have a ginormous Alienware PC (approx twice the volume of a standard pc) and 2 Dell 2001fp's. What is the best mail/shipping company to go w/, or are there any other ways to get them to my home in LA? Price, safety of the pc, and convenience are all concerns.

UPS ground will do you fine. You need to pack it well. You can get insurance.

Most shipping/courier companies will have insurance and fragile shipping options. Just pack it really well and it should be fine, definitely better than trying to bring it on the plane or whatever. If you are really worried about it, ship each item seperately so you can max out the insurance on each (some places will only insure up to $1k worth of stuff).

WTF, Alienware?
