RMAing motherboard and cpu

[mastrduke]

Where is a safe place to keep my graphics card and ram for the next 2 weeks while i send back motherboard and cpu? Don't have any of original packaging for those as they are over 2 years old.

Got any old static bags? Just cram them in there and put it on top of a bookshelf or somewhere you don't run through very often. If you don't have any bags, I would just stick them in a box in a closet or something.

can you buy static bags anywhere....antistatic bags

Didn't your GPU and RAM come in anti-static bags?

ideally, anti-static bags. I just put mine in a cardboard box

If you don't have antistatic bags just wrap them in reynolds wrap aluminum foil and don't worry.

Yep, if you want them to honor your RMA.

Rent a safe deposit box at your local bank.
