i assume you're traveling plane , can't bring you? if so, might consider shipping box of clothes via parcel post (or throw of clothes out/donate local charity) , package g5 , bring in luggage instead. should able find cheap luggage @ local thrift store if necessary. or if traveling someone, bring in luggage? depending on airline, each allow 1, 2, pieces of luggage without fees. airlines have weight limits before charging fees, check airline on policy before making final decision. weigh between 39-49lbs, depending on model, not including upgraded cards, , without power cord, keyboard, etc. once put in luggage (and pack in safely using clothes or other material) it's going 50lbs+, might heavy bring along free 1 of pieces of luggage, each airline different.

shipping cost $50-60.

update: did quick calculation on usps.com using phoenix zip , alabama zip, using 58lbs weight , 25x25x12 generic size box. parcel post shipping $51. in experience fedex cheaper usps.
