Transporting a graphics card

[monkeyfetus]

I have a graphics card that I got without a case, and I need to move out of my dorm tomorrow morning. I know that an anti-static bag would be ideal, but the closest store that carries one is 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) away, and I won't be able to go there by car until after I move.

So, how should I transport this graphics card without a case or anti-static bag?

Box with old newspaper will work fine.

What Erocker said.

 

[F1reFly]

[Bo$$]

box i think is a little safer

 

[Lionheart]

put it in your pocket.

put it between your tshirts

Do what erocker said, just get a Box, grab some newspaper and scrunch it up

 

[Dox]

Put it on your pants and run as fast as you can...



...or you can use a box

i would rap it up in some old shag carpet

 

[Necrofire]

yes, shag carpet, and make sure you bundle it with a lot of coins.

Box with paper stuffing is fine.

put it in a container, fill with water and place in the freezer for a few hours.


now that its frozen, no dirt or dust can get to it, and as an added bonus it will run cooler once installed back into the PC




Bonus:

add food coloring to the water when it just starts to freeze for an awsome new look!





Warning: resualts may very and the outcome may not be what you want.

i love a good laugh in the morning

but seriously a small cardboard box will suffice, even a piece of card wrapped around your graphics card will do, just as long as it's strong enough to protect it from parts being knocked of and /or getting static sparks
