    I don't get enough that they create a storage issue, but I do like to make my van-loads as dense as possible to save trips. I fill my empty cases with the carcasses of disc drives and power supplies. Also, I keep a coffee can next to my work area that I throw in little bits of metal, clips, screws, etc. I usually stuff one of these cans into an empty case as I fill them. Usually, my "empty" computer cases end up quite full and heavy by the time I'm done with them.



    I can't imagine spending much time on trying to cut cases, that seems like it would eat up useful time and materials.

    I was picking up some pallet racking from a contractor yesterday and he had a good suggestion for compacting computer cases. Use a log splitter and modify it to flatten things. I thought that was a good idea.
