too many shrooms
Ok so I am taking my current rig apart, due to an SSD that had my OS on killing itself, and I am expecting new gear soon so I don't see the point in reinstalling windows to go through it all again soon. Now I have anti static backs for everything but my gpu, will it be ok just going in its box? It is wholly covered by foam but am not sure if that will be safe enough :huh:

Sorry about the grammar I am on my phone
 
I'm pretty sure some card manufacturers dont even include anti-static bags. As long as its in the box, I'm sure it will be pretty much fine.
 
Back in the mid 90s' (God that makes me feel old) we used to wrap parts in newspaper for storage, never had a problem, but like MaddenShadow said some GPU manufacturers don't even ship cards in Anti-static bags I know my XFX card didn't.
 
Ahh ok good to know, never had a GPU that didn't come in an antistatic bag. Meh properly guided to be taking her apart, but I can't be bothered installing windows twice. I have been without a rig for a good 2 weeks, an to be fair I feel a bit lost not having one at my disposal
