xxbassplayerxx Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I bought two cupboards for my VGAs. Looks like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaPaKaH Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 why not just sell the cards you don't need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havli Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 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 +) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Beier Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Got a 90x45x20cm bedroller full of VGAs, enough for my old VGAs.... Considering ditching a few of them in fact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaPaKaH Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 To be able to buy another, sell, then buy another etc ... hoping to find a REALLY good card that is actually worth keeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't sell a card until I've found a better one, then I think "hmmmmm......SLI?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin0822 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopeLex Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
