its only really worth doing if you have the space, i just throw mine in the loft then i can get them if needed.

I do tend to keep most of my boxes as it is handy for moving my PC around to uni and back but I store boxes within boxes to save space. After a couple of years I'd probably throw out boxes if I know I'm not going to be selling the parts.

Sounds like a plan!

I'd like to do the same but my house mate would object, she lives up there !

So they live under my bed, need to have a clear out actually.

All mine are stored in a tightly sealed box in the garage

Better safe than sorry

Now that's another idea! Was worrying about the dampness in the garage at the new house.

Yeah, I do the 'small boxes in a big box' thing. All the boxes for my guitar stuff are in the box my amp came in, which means if I need the box for one of 'em, I know where to look.

i do the same "small boxes in big boxes" for the warranty period just in case i need to rma or wish to sell an item

I try to keep all my boxes because you can get so much more if you need to sell something on ebay and you can say mint, boxed, all warranties etc. but it's hard to keep a hold of all that crap without someone throwing it out

I keep all boxes, mainly because they are pretty... but also comes in very usful in the future.

ste_bla · 1 Mar 2007 at 14:08

Yup, put them all into the PC Case box, I do have a massive antec 1080amg though!

fozzybear · 1 Mar 2007 at 14:47

I try to keep them all. Unfortunately, i'm without the original box for an Akasa Eclipse 62 i'm trying to sell and it won't fit in other normal sized boxes!

I don't suppose anyone has one going spare?

Justintime · 1 Mar 2007 at 14:53

If i kept boxes i'd run out of space, not joking

sajtion · 1 Mar 2007 at 15:04

i only keep them during warranty period and when that expires i throw them out

cleric · 11 Jul 2008 at 15:29

ShakenNstirred · 11 Jul 2008 at 15:31

Teaf · 11 Jul 2008 at 15:31

ps. Holy thread bump Batman!

domthecondom · 11 Jul 2008 at 15:33

Keep the boxes, if i buy second hand components, i only buy if its boxed lol

i like boxes

Ace Modder · 11 Jul 2008 at 15:34

all my boxes to all my hardware lives inside my case box.

pastymuncher · 11 Jul 2008 at 18:40

I keep all my boxes, manuals, accessories etc. It helps if you have to ram in the future or it can boost prices when you come to sell, especially on the bay. I have found that people will pay extra for a product with everything included.
