Do not use foam peanuts as your delicate parts will sink until they are 
right next to the outside edges and will get full impact on those sides.

Suspect FAA regs will not allow luggage in a seat, only under or over.

It may fit in one of the "carry on luggage" roll around suitcases which 
are popular these days. Can get one for $20 at Walmart or Kmart. Then 
use dense foam to make custom fit.

If its too large for over/under seat then often one can carry on a 
large piece to be stored in a closet in the galley.

The only way to get real answers is to call the airlines and ask. Make 
sure they know its a fragile computer worth $10,000 and they'll cut you 
some slack simply to keep from having to handle the thing themselves.

Or drive it yourself in the car.
