    I always keep my boxes. Why? Bc when you go to resell it, the buyer sees you still have the box and translates that as a sign that you care/cared for this machine. Original packaging always brings higher resell. IMO

    I dont know why i keep my box, it just looks too awesome to through away. When my system shipped it arrived to my brothers place in the states, andhe too thought it was too good to through away so he go the box with him :p I didnt even have to ask him to :p I keep all the boxes of all my systems, because as pmassey31545 they bring a higher resell price.
    I also assume it is foldable although i havent tried :confused:

    You could use the box to store all your old software, cables ect and than you have good reason to keep it. Next best thing to cut tape and fold. Or at least wait a month and make sure you don't have to send back. If there is a warranty issue they will want it shipped in original packaging.

    Definently keep the box. A box as nice as it wasn't meant to be thrown out. Anyway when you buy something and keep them until they are rare, eg. 30 years, the box can be worth alot of money.

    Hi all,


    The boxes are flat packed. I live in a small place and had to flat pack the boxes with ease

    LOL, as much as I would like to sell my old junk, "Throwback Computers" don't really have a lucrative market...

    I kept the box, and I'll keep the replacement's box!
