I don't really have space for all those boxes either in my home office (actually more of an office home). One solution is to wrap it in a garbage bag and store it outside somewhere (carport or garage, under the neighbors' bushes...). But actually, most companies today will sell you a box for shipping when necessary - I know my printer company does that, so I imagine Apple will also. Any box kept inside my office quickly gets clawed and upchucked on by the feline assistants, anyway. So when space is at a premium, we might as well just recycle the boxes rather than trying to think of ways to store them.
