Shipping a power supply - is a non-static shielded baggie ok?

[geno]

I need something to wrap the PS in to keep bits of styrofoam peanuts from getting inside - a normal plastic baggie should be fine for this, right? Just making sure, I don't want to send this guy a DOA power supply...

Should be fine, PSU's aren't too sensative to static I don't think.

When i got mine from some company (forget if it was newegg or not) but it wasnt in a anti-static.... No problems.

It's a PSU; it provides electricity, so it's not gonna be harmed by being in contact with it. The trouble comes in with other parts (graphic, mem, PCI, HD, etc) as they aren't made for direct contact.

It'll be fine.

Cool, off it goes then 🙂

Not entirely true... if it has any CMOS devices in it then static could be a problem. But, the metal case should shield it adequately.
