Best way to package motherboard and graphics card?

Hey guys,

Just wondering, what would be the best way to safely package a motherboard, RAM and graphics card for postage. I don't have any original boxes however, so will have to make something up.

What do you recommend?

Three anti static bags (one each) bubble rap each separatly the find a box for all three.
Using more bubble to stop them moving around in the box.

And send recorded at the very least - special d if high cost hardware - parcel2go etc if RMSD is over £8

I don't know the purpose you're sending them on, but make sure you jot down the serial numbers.

For futures sake, always keep the original boxes

makes RMA easier and selling the products on down the line in original packaging will increase the price slightly that you recieve.

You would get away with wrapping the memory sticks in an A4 sheet, the GPU and Motherboard need some sort of bubble wrap though, could grab antistatic bubble wrap/bags instead of anti static bags to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Just popped down my local PC shop and got one big bag, and a box as well. All good =D

Going to grab some bubble wrap, and off I post em.
