Well, as someone already stated: boxes are way more easy to stack
as lets say a naked C64 - also they are ment to protext the stuff.
And since you cant have all stuff on your work bench, keeping the
boxes is a good thing. Last but not least, boxes keep all small
parts close to the unit - unless you see all just as interchangable
parts.

For my side, I prefer to have anything as close together as possible,
because, after some 18 years of collecting I had to learn the hard
way that my memory is less than perfect.

Gruss
H.
