TL;DR
Travelers report that a dismantled desktop PC can be carried as a personal item, either in checked luggage or partly in hand luggage. A car packed with many boxes may prompt questions about the contents and transport paperwork.
If a vehicle is packed with boxes and belongings, border officers may ask in detail about the contents and raise the issue of transport documents. In this report, scrutiny increased because of excess weight and the vehicle not being treated as a standard passenger car.
For a vehicle loaded with personal belongings up to the roof, the vehicle category and supporting documents may matter. One traveler reported crossing in a passenger Hyundai Grand Starex with a Georgian inspection document confirming category B, while explaining that the items were being taken home to an apartment in Batumi.
A dismantled desktop can be split between hand luggage and a suitcase: one traveler carried the case with the motherboard in checked baggage and the remaining components in cabin baggage without additional questions at inspection.
A desktop computer and monitor can be packed in a suitcase as personal belongings. If baggage screening staff ask what is inside, explaining that it is your dismantled personal computer was reportedly sufficient.
