No, really, what do you do with all the boxes from 100+ video cards?

Keep them for a little more resale value, burn them for heat when GPU mining crashes, what?

I also save all of mine at least as long as the warranty period for easy returns.

I keep all inclusive after the expiration of the guarantee, at the time of the sale that helps a lot. But it takes up a lot of useful space.

Always keep the boxes for resale and warranty purposes. Only get rid of the box for a card if its defective and cant be repaired. Or keep it and sell it for parts on ebay....with the box. Everyone loves an original box with anything  Cheesy

I keep boxes for everything that is under warranty.  And if you have the space, keep them forever.  If you ever go to sell the cards, it's nice to have the original packaging.

Ok, I want you to walk back in there and very calmly, very politely tell the risk assessors to fuck off! -Mark Baum

Label the boxes and the cards and store them together with warranties.

I have all my miners numbers (as should you) so miner 100 (mb box, ps box, 7 video cards boxes and shrink wrap) then on the outside of the shrink wrap with a giant sharpie write 100.  Now you know that is all the stuff for miner 100

I keep every box to help with resale or RMA if needed when something goes wrong.  Makes it quick and easy to ship off and reference for serial numbers without having to check the rig.

Here in the USA at least when doing an RMA they always specify to not include the original box or any accessories.  I know that in much of Europe at least you are required to keep the box for warranty, but here in the USA there's little reason to. It may be nice for eBay but as long as you keep lots of anti-static bags on hand and save motherboard drivers discs I don't think it's an issue.

Didn't realize USA was that way.  I haven't sent anything in for warranty repair or replacement in years.  Mining or non-mining.

Some boxes are really really nice. I feel thesame about Lego. Sometimes I think the Lego boxes are nicer than the Lego itself.
