Hi, I have some PCI-E devices, graphics cards, audio cards and such that I need to store on a shelf or something, similar to one of those RAM boxes. Example use, I have a GPU I need to repair but don't have the tools yet for the time being It would be nice to slot it in to a shelf were it can use minimal amount of space next to some other GPUs for testing and such (or in between builds) I have been looking online but just get results relating to SSDs... I would be willing to make something but I am not sure I have the resources to do so. Sorry I am not the best writer. Thank you in advanced though.

Could you maybe draw picture of what the end result you are looking for is like? The common storage way is to use original boxes and/or anti-static pouches + some box. This is how I've stored my extra cards.

 

You can DIY pretty much anything for very small budget, depending what the end result should be like. For example are you looking to display extra cards on shelf or just storing them. For storing only I would use soft cellfoam or cardboard to make base with slots holding cards. Put them into anti-static pouches and you have then available and secured from dust etc.

 

Or you could get something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001170039274.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.246c3061Zpup3j&algo_pvid=9a52bd52-ab8a-4523-abaa-0f0d6fbf9e37&algo_expid=9a52bd52-ab8a-4523-abaa-0f0d6fbf9e37-3&btsid=0bb0622e16012917174076074ef2ae&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

The link you sent is right in line of what I am imagining! Thank you! I am going to now see if I can find some dummy PCI-E slots that can use with it or a similar product.
