Computers and X-Rays

I'm planning on bringing my minitower with me when I travel to New York since I'll be there for a long while. I figure placing it in my luggage will result in some kind of dame from being tossed around under the belly of the plane. Shipping would cost too much. So I want to bring it in a carry on bag.

What I was wondeing was: will the x-ray machine at the security check-in adversely affect the computer in any kind of way? Should I take out the hard drive and ship it to myself?

Any advice would be mucho mucho appreciated. :)

Once I took my computer to a government building and it was put into such an x-ray machine (despite my disagreement, but had no choice). Fortunately nothing happened to it. :)

If you have the option of manually shipping it, then manually ship it. Shock damage is enough of a deterrent for me. :)
