so everytime I finish up a new PC build I have this pile of leftover stuff that I didn't use and sure I could just push it all to the side and let it pile up in the corner of my garage like some increasingly dangerous fire hazard but today I thought I'd figure out some better options so here are four uses for those parts that are left over after a PC build is finished the first item on my list is drive cages because chances are your case has a few that you just didn't need though they're clumsy and they can block air flow when they're actually installed in a case I think they have a certain beauty all on their own and with just some string and tape and some other stuff like that you can have your very own drive cage hanging mobile or mobile mobile anyway that's great for a kid's room or as a conversation piece in the study just watch out for those sharp edges while you're putting it together next up are all those boxes that the products came in now you don't want to just toss these because many retailers require you to return the box and the product if you need to send the product back for an RMA take advantage of that big-ass case box that your case came in though do a little bit of Russian nesting doll action to fit these smaller boxes into larger boxes and the larger boxes into the case box and there you go you have a nice compact storage system for all of your retail boxes I recommend hanging onto all of the boxes for your builds for at least a month after the build is finished and then of course still keep the case box even after that so you can use it to safely transport your PC in the future now you're bound to also end up with a couple slot covers and a bunch of screws and other small items after your build is complete and you should remember to keep and cherish all of them just remember future builds future builds needs screws and maybe they need these screws right here these specific ones and I'm like they unlike their screw daddy I like like watch over them and I keep them safe and I can't let them down I will eventually find a use for every single one of these screws and until then they are stored in my safe and secure screw storage system which is always very organized now you might say Paul that's that's way too many screws and the things in here you're never going to use those all in PC builds and you might be right but trust me the satisfaction you get when you need just that one black PCI slot cover and you know got like four or five to choose from it's just a very good feeling and lastly modular power supplies are all the rage these days but it's kind of the point with a modular PSU that you won't actually use all your modular cables rather than keeping them in whatever silk and cashmere storage bag they came with for long term why not take up cable sleeping just think with this small tool at about 50 hours a week a free time for the next month to six months you could become a cable sleeping master customizing your rig with style and custom color choices maybe some paracord sleeping in there i sleeved a full power supply once it floods me with with awesome memories of happiness no regrets it wasn't time-consuming at all and those are my four uses for those parts that are always left over after a PC build is finished guys I really hope you enjoyed this quick little video and if you did of course make sure to hit that like button on your way out links to very many important things are also down in the description so check that out too thank you so much for watching and we'll see you next time
