[G4] Boxes

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

I keep the boxes as long as I have the computer, and sometimes longer  
if the hardware breaks and is useless to fix, but the box is still  
good for storing stuff... But if you need space you could always put  
other boxes / stuff inside it to save space. Eg all my software and  
small hardware boxes are in my G4  and Studio Display boxes along  
with the foam too....

Well, it not so much as getting more money for the machine with the  
original box like it is for rare toys, it is the fact that the  
original box will hold the computer better for shipping it and is  
less likely be damaged during shipping, that is where the value is in  
keeping the box and maybe for its cool design and pictures too,  ;-) .
