Hi there,
In order to hahve everything arrive undamaged, you should ship the tower in one box, the monitor in another, and the accessories in a third. If you have good packing skills or are having a pro do it, you can put the accessories in with the tower.
I like both FedEx and UPS for shipping computers like this, and STRONGLY suggest you avoid the USPS when shipping complete computers.
FedEx has a much better track record with me personally. When I would order computer cases for my shop, the FedEx ones ALWAYS arrived intact and the UPS ones were at least damages 1 in 10 times, usually more often than that.
If you have a Kinko's/fedex shipping center near you, they can professionally package it for you, but get a quote to the zone furthest from you in the USA and go with that for an estimate in your auction. You can always refund if it is less.
The on-ling shipping calculators are accurate for the most part. But you have to package the thing first and have exact measurements and weights or you are just ruining any chance of accuracy when you ship your computer system.
Pack well, or get it done for you.
If there is a craig's list for your area, you could avoid all this by selling locally.
Happy computer shipping!
P.S. Don't be shocked at the price when you get a quote from a pro shipping place... that is just what it costs to ship a computer. :-(
