Shipping a PC cross country? (AZ -> NC)

Hey, any advice on shipping a CPU cross country?

I want to send my dad my old rig and introduce him to my Steam gaming library. Hes pretty excited to do some coop gaming.

It's probably worth maybe 5/600 at this point and so I'm wondering if shipping it will be worth it (and safe enough to survive) the trip.

I planned to tear it down, pack it all up individually to protect the expensive stuff and ship it as one big package.

Or should I just try to sell it and buy him one locally?
