That't some nice storing! I just use anti static bags but my boxes are smaller. I really like your method though.

That's exceptionally well organized 😲 - I just have plastic bins with the hardware in antistatic bags kind of "thrown in." It's separated broadly by type (e.g. RAM is one bucket), but I'm guessing most people would find it to be a mess. 🤣

I'll find it to be a nice method since it 95% resembles mine. 🤣

I use cardboard boxes instead of plastic bins though, and my stored items are generally pitifully small amounts (I like them in my cases 😈 ).

I did the cardboard box thing for years until I had a flood. I didn't actually lose too much in the way of hardware (those anti-static bags are generally waterproof as long as the open end doesn't take in water), but it was a mess to clean up. Switching to plastic tubs prevents that kind of thing from being a problem, as they generally don't dissolve in water (and if they're able to close, they will usually keep their contents relatively dry as long as they aren't submerged). It also kind of swore me off "boxed hardware" - I lost most of those boxes and decided it wasn't worth the hassle or energy to replace them. 😊

That's a good idea. My current solution to this problem isn't very good: lay as many cards flat on the shelf as will fit, drape a thick cloth over them, then lay another layer of cards on top. Repeat 2 or 3 times. This is how I store motherboards as well.

Looks great. My solution is not to have too much inventory any more. 😀

What type of boxes are those?
Some 3rd party thing?
Atari2600\Intellvision games weren't that big 🤣 .

Most are standard 2600/5200/7800/ColecoVision/intellivision (non-gatefold) boxes. About 8"x6"x1". Some are Intellivision gatefold boxes, which are about a half inch longer. About $0.80 apiece in packs of 25.

They must be super rare 🤣 .
Finding nothing with ebay searches!
Is that the official name?
Nothing really comes up with Atari boxes or gatefold boxes.
These really interest me, as I currently use plastic stack-able bookcases with drawers, and just store cards in antistatic bags stacked against one another inside those.

Try less keywords 😀
e.g. google/bing [ atari videogame box protector ]

Nice idea btw!

That worked 🤣 . Thanks.

Wow that is very nice! Thank you for sharing. It certainly does look pleasing from the outside.
