What do you do with your boxes after getting the tech out?

Collect them, and make love to them every night  #foreveralone

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

Keep them. My first closet is 1/3 full because of boxes from everything I currently own. Why?

1) RMA

2) Get more money if I ever want to resell

If it's something big and fragile, like an expensive display, I keep the box incase I need to move it later... and also if I need to later return it for warranty or RMA.

 

Most other items I just throw away... uh I mean, recycle.

Save em, that way after all the years of collecting the boxes and saving old tech I can build a massive fort out of them and use things like gpus and psus to defend my awesome computer box fort. :ph34r:

For the longest time I kept them, but literally a few days ago I threw about 90% of them out.

 

Things were getting out of hand... Had to make 3 trips to the recycling centre.

I built my current PC in 2010~. I kept the boxes in case I needed to RMA something. I have a shipping container in my backyard for storage... Cuz who doesn't right? Anywho I kept the boxes in the container, forgot I had them. Threw them out a couple months ago.

 

I usually tend to keep boxes for 3-6 months.
