My FX5900 Ultra I bought a few years ago has caved on itself 🙁 It likely would not have happened if I didn't have the storage bin near a radiator but still - I wish I would've just removed the shrink-wrap altogether. Anything cardboard that is shrinkwrapped is getting it's seal removed from now on.
How bad is the damage? If it's just a concave box then that should be fixable. It could even be re-shrink-wrapped afterwards.

Yes, it's just concave. I'll check out the video - thanks! Re-wrapping defeats the purpose, IMO - which would just be to remove the wrap to begin with unless it's being stored in a cool place .
