Motherboard box

[WayneKIng]

Hi everyone,

 

I am buying my pc components today but my case hasnt arrived yet (cause i bought it online and it hasnt shipped in yet). so i was wondering, to what extent can i rest the motherboard on the box. i was planning to install windows and set up my hdd as a storage drive. Or should i just let it post and wait for my case to arrive before i do anything?

 

Thanks for the help

I've had my whole system on my motherboard box for about a month. Check out the Link below

Yep, it's totally safe to set it up there, just be a little careful about it moving and all that.

or is it fine to use lightly such as using facebook and stuff nothing intensive like gaming

I bench marked my apu rig with just a mobo tray laying on my desk, so long as you dont move it technically a case isnt needed.

wayne, just use the box, do not use the anti-static bag, too.

the exterior of the bag is metallic in form.

It should be totally ok for the motherboard to rest on the box for a while while just using the computer as usual.

The only bad thing I could think of is dust getting into the pci slots while it is laying in a horisontal position.

But if you have one of those asus tuf series boards I see no problem. Go for it bro! :3

One thing to note, the 24-pin power connector can be a PITA to remove. When I put my rig together for testing, I thought I was going to snap my mobo in half getting that connector back off.

Furnny story, my friend decided that he was too impatient to wait for his case to come, so he built his computer on a box as well. So he had it all put together and setting on top of his desk. Wile he was skypeing me from his laptop, he had his camera on and decided he wanted to show me how big his monitor was. On his journey across the room he tripped on a cable and everything came crashing down. It sounded just like legos breaking apart to me. Luckily the only thing that happened was the plastic part on a PCI e connector broke off and everything still worked fine

It is perfectly fine, the box is non-conductive so it will be fine indefinitely.
