How u store u`r odds`n`ends ?

[Rastalovich]

It`s one thing to order stuff for a pc, build it, then dispose of all the left-overs. I`m in admiration.

But if u service other people`s pcs, messabout with u`r own, try things, adapt stuff - u need to store cables, pci/slot cards, fans, harddrives, optical units, plates, screws, ............. ugh!

Anywho, I`ve gotten better over the last year or so, I periodically go through stuff and simply bin it (if it`s binned - no1 would want it even at postage cost).

Right now I use some boxes (older ones), shoe boxes, and so on. Lots of stuff in orginal boxes where I can.

Any1 use something that`s vaguely "for the job" or they`ve adapted - nice`n`tidy - shelfing or whatever ?

Or u got something that`s more half-assed than what I got lol

 

[!TIMMY!]

My stuff is under the bed, in the basement and at my girlfriends house, so not very organised. I actually found a really old 8x ide DVD writer under my bed yesterday lol

I store everything I think is worth keeping

I have a cupboard full of pc spares. A while ago I threw out a lot of stuff tho.

 

[FarFarAway]

I have a huge chest of drawers for all my PC stuff and another couple of draws just dedicated to wires

 

[Dav0s]

lots and lots of boxes piled next to me, but there isnt really much worth anything, if i dont plan on using something i sell it or give it away

i use the boxes that comes with the parts that i bought to store stuff.

and i have a plastic bag with that thing where it seals with when you press it.....to keep small screws, big screws, etc etc in different bags.

at the moment, i have 3 box of bits and bobs, 1 for WC stuff, 1 for screws, 1 for spare fans.

then 3 draws, 1 for power cord, 1 for HDD, SATA, or any cables that i might need inside the comp, and 1 for software, DVD, INK etc etc.

but a month ago i binned the following :-

alphacool CPU block

EK intel chipset block

alphacool 6800-7900 GFX block

alphacool bay res

akasa FC-03 fan controller

akasa all-in-one fan controller and card reader

CD-RW

DVD-ROM

Floppy drive

card reader

4metres of 11/8 tubing

4 sticks of SD ram

half of acrylic case

lots of push fit fittings

500mm XSPC res

XSPC cpu block

XSPC 'extreme' cpu block

loads of 80mm fans

its in a land fill site now.

i had to choose from a BIG BOX of parts that i can want to keep.....and the list i posted is the parts that i no longer needed.

after i dumped the box of bits, i had the joy of being able to WALK to my bed and not JUMP over a box onto my bed....

so i guess that pays off eh

 

[deathwish]

thats a shame i would of liked those parts for my pc

if you have any other spare parts contact me first

 

[mrapoc]

all my stuff is in my attic and in the main house attic. a few bits and bobs in pots and stuff in my bedroom but other than that, all pretty well kept. only i always lose my windows disk when i need it ><
