How do i pack this bare CPU for shipping?

[chiwawa626]

I have a socket 478 cpu i need to ship...all i have is the cpu in an antistatic bag what is the best way to package this thing?

find something that pushes on the bottom inside of the CPU and protects around the pins.. never send that CPU in just an anti-static bag with some bubble wrap or styro.. it's not enough!

make sure it's packed well and that the pins are protected.

maybe ask a store if you don't already have one, for a box that the CPU would actually come in.

i've got a couple of those little cpu boxes from newegg

Do they sell anti static foam or something that a cpu could be pressed into?
