    Looking for storage solution for PCI-cards

    Hi,

    I work in a lab environment where we use a lot of PCI cards. Currently cards are just stored in boxes, but I'm looking for a solution where I can stack PCI cards.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Aco

    Buy a bunch of old non-working motherboards, cut them in half and keep the expansion slot side.

    I can only suggest drawers, and just use foam cut-outs to stand the cards upright in them. Any dimensions? What height will they be stored at etc?

    That is probably the best solution. But I've got more than 70 cards that need to be stored, so it will be a hell of a job to cut out the foam.

    The biggest cards are probably around 18 CM in length and 12 CM height.

    Now I just need to find some good anti static drawers and foam.
