Well if its not too late you can get a case carrier, of course that depends on the size of your case.

They used to do them on Dabs but I can't find them now. They should be around somewhere.

Seconded.
Or get creative and use an old skateboard or such to make a move-able PC or do like I do, buy a Shuttle. :flirty:

You're coming from London according to your sig. So by case I assume you are travelling by train.

Pack a small bag - I assume you are a man. Ask to borrow a monitor, someone will bring you one.

Bag = pants (1 pair), socks (1 non-pair), mouse, keyboard, money.

Carry your PC, using your hands. Place on luggage rack. Go to sleep. Awake in March.

If you sleep until March you will have missed the LAN by 11 months!

Do Argos have and rucksacks, with their 16 day return policy assuming you don't trash it?

Wrap it in cardboard, then get some rope or belting from a diy shop, run 2 loops around the package, tape the bottom of the loop in place. Then pick it up and carry it.
