| 1154807 | 2010-11-20 03:29:00 | Well, now that I have some extra free time on my hands; I have decided I am going to tidy up my computer parts that are in various areas of the house.. This will involve stripping quite a few cases of good and possibly usable parts and then dumping the cases. I am thinking of storing all the motherboards in a plastic roller bin which will go in the garage, but wonder if static could be a problem. Ideally I would like to have a heap of anti-static bags, which I don't. So in their absence; what can I do? Am I able to use cardboard/newspaper/something better maybe? |

| 1154810 | 2010-11-20 21:43:00 | Other thing is, anyone here have a heap of anti-static bags spare? Motherboard size... (mainly M-ATX though some ATX) - need 10 I see they selling them on trade me, but in lots of 250 - which I will never use. |

No static charge can exist within a Faraday cage. An anti-static bag is a Faraday cage, it just happens to be made with a very low conductivity coating. |

Once lined, I am assuming I should lay cardboard or paper down so the tin foil does not rip? Greven, I have no problem paying for postage if your company wants to do a misc charge. |
