TL;DR

Pack desktop components separately in bubble wrap and carry them in cabin baggage; buying a monitor after arriving in Da Nang can be easier. For replacement parts or assembly, look for established computer shops on Facebook Marketplace and ask them to build a PC using your own components.

What the community said

A practical approach is to dismantle the desktop and carry the power supply, graphics card and other parts in cabin baggage, with every item wrapped in bubble wrap. In this experience, security asked what the items were, but no additional paperwork was needed.

Cabin baggage and bubble wrap

Rather than risking a large monitor in checked luggage, consider buying one after arrival if it does not fit safely in a suitcase. This was reported as the more convenient option for a bulky display.

To source missing parts in Da Nang, use Facebook Marketplace to find shop pages selling desktop PCs rather than private listings. A shop may agree to assemble a computer if you bring key parts such as the motherboard, graphics card and SSD.
