Storing GPUs

[xxbassplayerxx]

How do you guys store your GPUs once you've acquired a bit of a collection? I used to use a drawer but I've got a few too many for that now and was hoping to get some ideas.

I bought two cupboards for my VGAs. Looks like this:

My VGAs storage

 

[TaPaKaH]

why not just sell the cards you don't need?

Well, these are old GPUs (2000 - 2002).... so they are almost worthless. Plus I can rebench them anytime, try new tweaks, voltmods use them for competitions, etc.

 

And I have two more crates like this + few dozen newer VGAs (2004 +)

Got a 90x45x20cm bedroller full of VGAs, enough for my old VGAs.... Considering ditching a few of them in fact...

Trick question! Why sell a good VGA that isn't dead?

[TaPaKaH]

To be able to buy another, sell, then buy another etc ... hoping to find a REALLY good card that is actually worth keeping.

[Turrican]

i'm also an idiot to keep everything.

running already out of space here.

I don't sell a card until I've found a better one, then I think "hmmmmm......SLI?"

Me too. Wife is pissed that I took over her closet to store more stuff.

I also want to know how to store them when they have the coolers on?

 

and what the best way to store CPU's as well?

 

Im starting to a collection and wonder the same thing..how do i store all this gear..

 

I did see what looked like a really interesting storage solution on OCN by one of the reviewers but cant find that picture..

I use to hang them on my wall in the garage, 2 nails that hold the card on the case bracket. but then sold them :I

 

Or on the ground in the corner of the garage

Nice collections guys!

 

I have decided if it is not a Lightning/Matrix then they are getting sold, trying to keep the stock elite:D

Since i moved to my apartment, i have a ton of motherboards, so i found that if you put them in anti-static bags, and then flip one on the other, then they fall into each other and i put them into a dresser drawer. I have less clothes than comp[uter hardware.

 

For CPUs I use a locked briefcase which I use a bike lock and secure to my desk.

 

FOr GPUs and memory i just a utility drawer.

 

But my apartment has good security, a few security guards, i need a card to get into my apartment and a key to get into my room.

 

IMO just put all the ones you wont you in a box and put them in a closet or something. For boxes for the motherboard, I unfold the boxes, and they all become flat. Except you will soon find enough boxes will weigh a crap load.

 

I only own 6 GPUs lol.

Great thread, cause of it reminds me that i should tidy up my whole hardware.

Maybe i will Post some pics at the weekend. Currently nearly my whole hardware-stuff is stored in several cartons and boxes or lays on the couch in the workroom.
