Nope just physically moving your pc wont affect anything.

As long as you don't drop it and plug everything back in the correct place.

Back up everything you need just in case and then transport the backup you have made sperately. Just In Case

Assuming its a standalone machine and not part of a home network everything should work as before.

The only thing that might need changing is the internet connection settings, but more likely on the ISP's side rather then yours, if your on broadband they might have logged your mac address, and if your on dial up then they might check your phone number when you dial in. Give them a call and they can better advise you.

If you're changing your phone number and use unmetered dial-up you'll need to tell your ISP, as the number you dial from is part of the deal.

If you're on BB, regardless of whether you have the same number or not, you may have to pay another connection fee.
