How to store a cpu?

[Devrij]

So my board is being collected on Tuesday and I didn't go $or advanced replacement, so I have to keep my chip somewhere safe until I get my replacement. I chucked the packaging having planned on leaving it in place for a good few years, so not sure what's safe to store it in. Or more importantly, what's not safe.

Thanks in advance

Yeah its my sb chip. The paper thing sounds like my best plan of action, wasn't sure if there was some obvious reason why I couldn't do that so thought I'd ask first. cheers

Well, my desk won't be in use while my rig is in pieces, so I may leave it bang in the centre on a piece of paper (my gf will be informed with extreme emphasis) and put a box over it to keep dust off. Plan?
