If you want your servers
  killed by electrostatic discharge, packing peanuts are optimized for that

That would be me , short story I received a bunch of HP servers and I had
to unbox them to save space. I had to dispose of the boxes to save space.
Now I need to ship out a few servers to other Datacenters and I am out of
usable boxes.



when i got in this same situation a couple years ago i was lucky enough to
find that someone else at 111 8th had just finished depalletizing a bunch
of dell servers.  i was able to dumpster dive what i needed.  that was
lucky.  the other times this has happened i found a cardboard box whole
seller on 6th ave and bought boxes big enough for my gear and then
proceeded to pack everything in too much bubblewrap and news papers.
unfortunately that was back in the day so i don't have any addresses
anymore that can help :/

not super helpful i know - but maybe that'll spark some creative solutions
for you ;)

peanuts.  dc-ops guys love packing peanuts :p
