Greetings!

This is way off topic, but this is the best audience I can ask for this question:

Does anyone know of a good place in the US to order static free foam and plastic cases for storing chips and PROMs?

I have an interest in retro-gaming, and I have been picking up a number of used arcade machine boards. I really want to collect the original ROM sets and processors for use in future repairs when I get the space to actually try and rebuild some of these machines. And, in the short term, I like to think that I have fully licensed the ROMs by owning a real physical copy of them when I use an emulator.

Thanks!

Try www.farnell.com - it's a UK company where we get a lot of our parts from, they have a US division.

In the UK you can order with MC/VISA, and browse the catalogue (painfully) online.
