!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

This is bad advice. Don't throw out the box immediately after opening your product. Rule of thumb; keep the box for as long as the warranty. If it's a large thing, keep the box always in case you want to move.
I’ve never been declined a warranty reimbursement for lack of original packaging. That would be crazy to me.
Keeping the original box makes it easy if you have to mail something, since you don't have to try and find one it fits in.
