Hello,
Now I have a lot of RAM module sticks each on a single plastic bag into a card box. RAM modules are SIMM 30, 72, PC, DDR...
However, it's not so easy to manage them in this way.
How can I store them in an effective way?
Are available some kind of RAM boxes?
My first PC had Windows 98 os.

I remixed some 3d printable Ram stands for all kinds of ram modules.
The things my remixes are based on are for newer ram modules.
I also made 3D printable CPU trays.

My trays also got remixed into different CPU types.

A less professional but cost effective way I use - are 3.5" HDD boxes. As long as as a DIMM, as wide as a SIMM-72, they contain many modules in my cupboard.
Shame on us, doomed from the start
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts
Slim cardboard box should suffice.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
I use small plastic bins with dividers to store RAM modules.
Shoes box and zip bags (tested and untested).
Plastic box + antistatic bags with the ones I actually use for my builds (tested).
PC#1 Pentium 233 MMX - 98SE
PC#2 PIII-1Ghz - 98SE/W2K
Ebay, “DIMM Tray”.
I bought one along with a joblot of RAM. Only really suitable for 168-pin onwards, but still handy.
I am cheap and use those mini anti static backs labeled in a cardboard box. For 30 pin keep them in sets of 4, 72 pin are in pairs and have many DDR, DDR2, etc in those retail clam shells they come in.
Also have some anti static bags with a few dozen in each, markered to tell me what they are 😁 like I said am cheap.....
I cannot do as Shponglefan has, our humidity in summer is too low and being loose in a nylon/plastic box and just opening/touching one could zap it....
Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
Yes, those DIMM trays on eBay. They can be stacked too, which is convenient. You can get large ones for DIMMs and small ones for SODIMMS (which can also hold DIMMs sideways). I have separate trays for SDRAM, DDR, DDR2, DDR3, RDRAM and miscellaneous.
Problem is oversized modules, which won't fit because they're too tall, and SIMMs, which are too small. These get 'stored' in piles, which I know is not good.
Is this too much voodoo?
I keep mine in a shoe box labeled "Adam's Box of Memories."
You can buy the proper ESD RAM storage boxes on ebay.
I have a few myself, keeps them nice and safe and had no problems with RAM kept that way so far.
