Motherboard Storage?

[Gendo Ikari]

I salvage computers and I need some way to store the motherboards until I use them. Since most of these were in cases, I don't have the boxes or anti-static bags. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking something like those stackable in and out mail things they use in offices.

On edge in a cardboard box with sheets of cardboard between mobos.

You could take some sheet rock screws and attach them all to the ceiling.
Not very handy but you could tell the new guy the one he's looking for is on the ceiling when it's not and then kick back to watch.

I don't think so, this place is in Shorewood, IL. Right by the electronics recycling center.

I just put them in anti static bags and stack them
They can be stacked quite high before they fall over :P

Unless the boards are really valueable in some way, I bag them but otherwise I carefully stack them one on top of the other in a Rubbermaid tub.

I put them in stackable drawers. I have antistatic bags but don't bother storing boards in them unless it's valuable. If I ever need it again I'll test it of course.

...wow, I just checked, and the site I used to order anti-static bags from is closed down. Damn.
