Subjective Question: What does everyone do with their hardware stickers?

I'll admit I've been around for longer than I'd care to admit, but when I first started building computers it was considered cool by some to put your hardware stickers (ie. intel, Noctua, G.Skill, etc) in someplace on the case. What does everyone do with their stickers when they build their new PC's these days?

All of mine are sitting in a drawer. I don't see the point of putting them on my computer - I can't even see my computer when sitting at my desk, and I know what components are in it.

That's an interesting exception, Abydos. Would you say that's a nostalgia thing?

That is a good point, you'll never need a sticker to remember what's inside!

They stay in the box. If I don't keep the box, the stickers get thrown out with it. Really don't like putting stickers on anything.

I can respect that. Do you post the boxes on social as a flex, or nah?

Not really. I tend to keep boxes in case I need to return it or sell it in the future
