I'm now starting to pack mine boards too.....
Not easy because the boards are different for length/height etc...so you need to find good boxes (not too large and not too small)...
Those are the boxes....different measurements available....

And now we are here.....
Much to do but better than before....

Many people have asked me to do a tutorial vid on how they cut and wrap them so will do it in the near future.

Yup, alphabetical order for normal PCBs. Oversized ones are by manufacturer since they are generally similar in size. ROM carts are also by format but most aren't in that office.

Any thoughts on CV1000 kits folks? I store PCBs vertically where possible but my Cave kits are horizontal due to space restrictions. I'm hoping they're OK due to their weight.

I assume you're joking, right?

Because they are so tiny and light that i don't think they will flex.

Dragging up this old post to show off my small game collection and the boxes and labels I've just finished making up... appreciate all the ideas shared in this thread, decided to settle on the Corstat boxes which are about $10 AUD each.

For games that I don't play offen I use some of the "really useful" brand of box's sold in the UK, along with some antistatic bubble wrap inside.

They are quite robust with tough plastic and stackable so you can fit a lot together in a small space and being transparent you can see what's inside (as I usually forget!)

Yeah Mono, I now have 2 cabs and the PCBs in the livingroom since the gamingroom was needed for the little one =)
THAT room however is still a giant **** mess, but Im happy with how the livingroom turned out, I play alot more now than I did before.
