They are cheap , but very low quality. It would be better to consider other options. Look for hard plastic cpu trays and ram trays with more height to fit ram modules with heatsinks Edited May 12, 20169 yr by TASOS
May 12, 20169 yr CPUs: Plastic CPU trays (Hard not soft)(Btw, if you know where I can buy more ) Now i know why they are vanished from ebay. Motherboards: Home made MB tray. Nice M/B tray. Good choice for people with limited storage space.
May 12, 20169 yr Crew You wont be satisfied with these products.They are cheap , but very low quality. It would be better to consider other options. Look for hard plastic cpu trays and ram trays with more height to fit ram modules with heatsinks Any suggestions? I didn't know where to look so I had a quick look on ebay and couldn't see much difference between the options available.
May 12, 20169 yr Any suggestions? I didn't know where to look so I had a quick look on ebay and couldn't see much difference between the options available. Look at Ney's link with cpu trays. That's the type you want to buy (hard plastic) Ram trays Most of them are cheap China products (on ebay). Look for an add , with manufacturers trays , from Samsung or Hynix. They came with 25 slots usually
May 12, 20169 yr This is a commercial advertisment (sorry for this hwbot). But have a look , to see what kind of ram tray to look for.
May 13, 20169 yr I use IKEA Alex cabinets, the smaller ones designed for use with desks. I eventually plan on picking up some of the hard plastic trays to store my CPUs, and build some sort of stackable system to have multiple motherboards in the lower drawers:

(obviously not quite as space efficient!) Only hard plastic trays seem to come from the US and so delivery is a lot more than the cost of the actual tray which is just silly!
May 25, 20169 yr I use original motherboard boxes, or boxes from another mobo, sometimes stacked and padded 2 or 3 motherboards in the same box. For VGA either original boxes or for bare cards esd bags, then bubble-wrap and stacked in larger boxes. For CPUs - some in original plastic holders, some (the s.A) stacked inside a cardbord boxes, some in hard plastic trays (blue ones). For RAM - most are in plastic trays, others in esd bags.
