    Is it possible to buy these clear plastic bags anywhere? *PIC*

    You usually get them with new stuff, keeps all the cables tidy and parts apart. I could do with a load of them for all my cables etc.



    And they are clear which is handy for seeing whats inside them without opening them, unlike other bags.

    Pop down Tescos and get a pack of zip-lock freezer bags.
    Cheap as anything, and they are see through, as well as having little press-close things on the top.
    However, bags like this and the bags you posted a pic of are polyethene - which builds static!!! So use them for cables and stuff, but not hard drives or cpus etc!!!
    You want anti-static bags for them - try Maplins.
