After the PC is done...

Hello

So quite a silly wee question but i want to clear some space to make way for... More stuff lol

But i am kind of worried if any pieces of my pc set up (compments, razor leviathan speakers etc) breaks down do i need the box they came in? Any warranty issues?

What all do tou guys do with the empty boxes after a build?

Put them somewhere I can't see them.

Last time I bought a large order from Overclockers I took all the individual boxes, packed them all back up and put them back in the big box that they used to send everything in. It now sits in the back of the garage whenever I've needed it.

Yup same deal, it's in the garage.
Plus if I do ever sell it on (which is pretty much never) or donate it (more likely) I just rebox it up and give it away.

Always keep them to avoid potential warranty issues and to help with selling them down the line.

I keep all my boxes for the warranty period then every 18 months go in my loft and bin them.

I loft all the boxes, drives the Mrs nuts but always nice to have for selling on or any warranty claims.

I tend to keep them for a couple of years then recycle them.

All boces go in the loft. Never know when you'll need them!

I don't have space for / not a fan of clutter so any packaging goes straight in the bin. I've never had any issues making a warranty claim when I still have the receipt.

I always keep mine for when I sell stuff on.
Just put it all in the loft.

I bin / recycle it all, unless I think it is something I'll likely sell on the future and it would benefit from having the original box.

Do you guys just keep the boxes as they arrive? I do the same but due to space, I'm thinking of just opening the box fully and compacting it down. Can always tape the box back up when needed.

Cardboard box samurai is tempting...

Judgement call - Keep the boxes for all the really expensive stuff and chuck the boxes for the cheaper stuff. Also I try to judge if an item will ever be sold and keep the boxes for them too.
