Yep. Sounds strange to use aluminum foil, but it works.

Where can I buy anti static bags to ship hardware? I found some places online like officedepot.com and sabcal.com but they only sell in bulk (1000 bags) and I only need a few.

Check your local ma and pop computer store, a lot of times they will give thme away from the systems they put together.

Fry's carries them, but you should try to go to your local parts store. They are usually free, or pretty cheap.

I believe that Directron also sells used static bags for pretty cheap, at least they used to.

What sizes you need? I have ones that will take anything smaller than a vidcard (so vidcards, ram, HD's, sound cards etc..)

I can pop some in the mail for you.
