What's the deal with anti-static bags for computer parts? No one seems
to use them anymore. I got some Ram and a Video Card lately and
neither one comes in an anti-static bag. They are just placed in the
molded plastic package. The Asus P4P800E Deluxe motherboard I
recently bought did come in an anti-static bag, but while every cable
and connector that came with the motherboard was in a sealed bag, the
motherboard's anti static bag was not sealed. Seems you would want
that sealed to prevent accident static shock by someone handling it,
especially given the fact that the motherboard box is not sealed with
shrink wrap. Anyone can rummage through the box and zap the
motherboard. Is this just sloppy practice by the computer part
manufacturers or is the molded plastic packaging anti-static?
