All I did was put the bag over my case (with all components still in it) and then the styrofoam on the sides of the case and then threw everything in the box.

My question is, is that ok? Should I worry about anything? It's in the trunk of my car about to drive an hour n half.

id put it in the back seat where its cushioned and the seat can act as a shock absorber, or set it on some pillows, just to be safe

jshay is my hero!

I would remove any discs from the disc drives, and remove any expansion cards in there.

if the watercooling system has slack, try and stuff some paper or clothing around the motherboard to keep it from flailing around.

Dang well I just got on the road am I REALLY risking it or is it fine, would just be even more safe with pillows or in back seat

didnt notice the water... uh oh's, j/k

It's more than fine. When I travel with a computer, I just wedge it between the front seat and back seat to hold it in place. It's not a baby. It doesn't need a carseat. If you're really paranoid, you can strap it in the back seat with the seat belt

Ok cool I thought it'd be pretty secure but just wanted to make sure.

Your Venomous X is not Thermalright True Copper but it is better to position your case horizontally on the backseat (so that the heatsink sits up right). That is, the case sits on its side panel. This should reduce vibrations not only to the heatsink but to all add-on cards as well.
