    Saving good CPUs while scrapping

    Hey all I was just tearing down some boards and trying to save some of the CPUS for resale, in the past I have used anti static foam, but still damaged a few. Just curious what methods others are using to cull/ save the "good" CPUs while your working.

    If I am saving a CPU, I have some tiny anti-static bags that i place them in. I used to just file them into a small box, but I now have a couple hundred harder plastic cell phone battery packages that close nicely around them, bag and all. Keeps them nice and safe unless they are smashed or stepped on.

    Here you go.

    50x Intel AMD CPU GPU IC Chipset Tray Box Holder Case | eBay

    I get about 2-5 per month from work for free. But you can buy them on ebay for cheap! These are what CPU's come shipped in now. Anti static bags do not offer the protection for the pins that is required.
