No there's a 7kg weight limit for carry-ons, it's the same for every flight I looked at and the one I ended up getting. There's usually a weight limit bc flight attendants need to be able to lift it up and put it above with no problem

If you want to check the desktop, remove the harddrive/SSD and hand carry it.

I traveled out of the Dipolog airport. I had two carry-ons that were both obviously over 7kg. PAL staff just waved me (the Kano) along while continuing to bust the chops of the Filipinos whose carry-ons were 1kg over. My wife just looked at me and said "Not fair." I told her it was because I am so gwapo.

 

Seriously, I would follow Adventine's advice upthread.

 

I am a little bit of a computer nerd. When we move to the Philippines I intend to break down two computers and send the parts in separate BB boxes.

Add a couple of Rolex watches and post a contents label to the baggage and you will be safe.

Transitioning thru Manila, they may add some bullets to the luggage to make some extra cash
