What did you do with your iMac box?

[ridli]

Mine's in the garage, I actually had to use it once or twice to move my iMac for a few trips, so I'm glad I kept it. Plus, it's just so nicely designed (my iMac was my first product, I was giddy at how well the package was built) that I can't dare throw it away.

In fact, I even kept the brown shipping box to kind of... well, protect the iMac box.

>_>

Haha

 

[LoganT]

Kept it. Just in case I want to sell my iMac a year or so down the road.

 

[je1ani]

Stays in the garage

I cut a hole in mine so I could send in the barcode for a rebate and then put it in the shed. I always end up selling my mac's before updates and it's much easier to sell with the box

attic - I'm sure the next owner will appreciate it (assuming there is a next owner...)

I still have my iMac G3 box from 2001. It's in the garage.

And my MacBook Pro box is in my room because I don't know where to put it, and also I'm lazy.

And you never know when a box can come in handy! Especially when you're trying to get to the elevator in the back. You can use it to hide in so the guards think you're an iMac...

"Huh? What's that box?"
>_>
<_<
.... "Get out of the way!"
[kicks box]
O_O !!!
"Get him! HE'S AN IMAC!"

I put a $1,500 Apple Store gift card inside and will use it as a door prize for our company meeting in two weeks.

haha, is that a 24 inch imac box? wow, bet they will guess its an imac, till they open to find a little card in it...

Yeah it is, we had a huge debate over whether folks would want an iMac or a Macbook and this was the solution. Here's your card, go pick something out.

The card is a good idea. Gives them the option of forking over a little extra and getting something more, like a MBP or something.

I want to work for your company...

Definitely kept mine. I've been surprised when selling items on Trademe (NZ equivalent of Ebay) how having the original packaging seems to fetch better prices for things.....besides, apple packaging is some of the nicest around.

I tend to keep boxes for all my Hifi and computer equipment. I certainly don't fancy trying to transport a 24inch iMac without a little damage, missing the original box.


Cheers

 

[mini/mac]

It's in my basement.
I also still have my G4 sawtooth box there as well.

 

[basset hound]

I still have my Apple IIc box.

 

[czachorski]

Its in my basement, and I gaze at it admiringly every time I go into the storage room. Apple boxes are almost as cool as their computers. But not quite.

 

[bluedoggiant]

I still have my Apple IIc box.

Really?

 

[jnc]

Mine went under the bed, but got a lot of use as I took it to and from university maybe 2 - 4 times a month on the train!

Eventually (and understandably) I had to get a MacBook instead in year 2

I keep all my boxes: keyboards, displays, consoles... good as at one point or another I end up selling them

Where do forward my resume to?

Thank You Cpt Obvious.

Mines hidden in plain sight under the dining table. My iPhone box is in my desk drawer and my MacBook box is in the unused wardrobe. I tend to keep boxes in case I need to resell in future. It also ensures I can easily find manuals and resource disks as and when needed

 

[MrGeePee]

In my wardrobe.

 

[Sweenona]

Mine's being used as a table for my microwave.

 

[Nabooly]

Mines in my closet. Inside the box that the imac box shipped in, lol Just too hard to throw it away. I have kept all boxes to all electronics i buy

Oh and i still have all the foam and plastic wrap from the imac

 

[jasonbuzz]

Mine is in the garage...i used it to take my iMac to San Antonio for Christmas so I could help trouble-shoot iChat with my in-laws. I wouldn't get rid of them as they come in so handy when you need to move the iMac.

 

[harcosparky]

I kept mine, it sits in the same spot where the Power Mac box used to reside.

Sold the Power Mac to buy the new 24" iMac.

In fact I now have more space because I got rid of the Power Mac box and the 23" LCD Monitor Box and replaced it with the 24" iMac box.

I even got more space on my desk now as well !!!

What, the in-laws?

 

[hk8899]

Well? Did you dump it, stick it under the bed (actually, it won't fit under mine), stick it on top of the wardrobe, what? I think the iMac box is such a thing of beauty (I know, I know...sad) that I'm really reluctant to throw it out...but what am I meant to do with it? Apart from trip over it every day because I still have it on my office floor.

I have my iMAC box on top of my study bookshelf. I think ill never chuck it out.
