Do you guys throw boxes away??

Very much depends on what it's for and whether it's too big / I have storage space. I save all my jiffy bags for sure.

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.

Why can't you have her on your bed and boxes in the loft?

Keeping boxes is a must, especially RMA time.

I keep them in the loft just incase i need to return something under warrenty , also keep the receipt with the box :cool:

I try to keep them all...store them up in the garage roof trusses on some boarding I've placed up there...

I keep all my boxes incase I sell them on later when I upgrade, I keep the receipts too.

I usually keep the boxes used to pack my products too so if I sell something later on I have a box that can be used easily.

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

I do that to save space.

I have a stack of 10 motherboard boxes, filled mostly with gfx cards, ram, and other nick naks. Most of the other boxes I don't bother with, unless I think I may have to be RMA'ed (gfx card springs to mind...)

I bin most of mine. Only one I've still got is the graphics card box.

i just throw mine in the loft then i can get them if needed.

Best way, if you have a loft!

I put them all in the case box and then in the loft.

Actually need to get up there at the weekend and get my 8800 GTS box down and put my 4870 box up there.

Nope - all are folded flat where possible & placed neatly inside the case box which goes in the loft.

I've still got some well old boxes from the 90s kicking about (mobos/Voodoo1 etc).
Come to think of it I've got a 20 year old Amstrad CPC monitor box somewhere.

I'll probably have a massive clear out when I move house and chuck away loads of stuff that has no value. I'm terrible for hoading old components even faulty ones in case bits come in handy.
