Or you could simply do the Reuse-Recycle trick and keep the stuff.
I recommend it to everyone that they SAVE THE PACKAGING THEIR
COMPUTERS COME IN.  If you have to move your computer for any
reason (change of address, change of whim, etc.) it is simply 
THE BEST packaging you can get for your computer.  

I'm sick of people tossing their packaging, only to go out and
buy more (for one use, at that!) when they have to move.  

It is simple to put it in the attic, overhead in the garage, or 
just stick it in a convenience storage corner (keep it about 2
inches off the ground, though).  This includes the cardboard
boxes.  

I yearn for the day of the return to structured cardboard inserts:
easy to recycle, very few (if any) harsh chemicals used in the
manufacturing process, etc. etc. etc...

My $.02 worth..
