Hi, today i was building my new pc when i realized the case i have is not big enough, and now i have the motherboard with the cooler (212 evo), cpu and ram attached resting in the motherboard box and i dont want them to be damaged by dust and/or static, what do you suggest i do to keep those components safe while i buy a new pc case? (i cant fit the motherboard back in the anti-static bag, cause the cooler is TOO BIG.)

Also, do i risk the motherboard for bending the box where is now resting (for the cooler weight) and then bending the motherboard itself?

Thanks

You dont need to worry about the solder points, they will be fine even if they puncture the cardboard.
I personally pick up the board from all corners (or a hand underneath on the backplate for the cooler), I have also seen people grab it by the cooler and an edge.

I put it inside the box, i just hope the soldering ends (those pointy lead things below the motherboard) dont pierce the cardboard and get damaged. (i know im trying to be too safe, but its my dream pc and i dont want to damage it before i build it)

Also, do you know if i should grab the motherboard by the giant cooler? if i grab another part it will bend, so i just grab it from the top of the cooler.
