It's not OCD, it's practicality. Packing a component with original packaging when you send to repair, sell, or move with it seems a lot simpler than trying to pack it safely, if the component is heavy/expensive. I din't keep the boxes for the Hels I use for my work headphone setups, or for the small computers I use as streamers, but everything else I can see in this room (including Schiit) has its original box in our storage shed in the backyard.
Filet Mingon seared rare then grilled medium rare on the Weber
Burgundy gravy with shrooms and onions
Mashed potatoes with peas
Green salad
Bottle of red for moi
Bottle of white for wifey
Fresh fruit with vanilla bean ice cream for desert
Plenty of fine Schiit on the hi-fi
Knock out the manuals in stone blocks and put in Joshua Tree national park. Then we’ll travel there, take snapshots and selfies. Eventually it will become the Schiit Festival!
Makes good coffee, but is Swiss, which means you must use all their proprietary cleaning/filtering crap...down to RFID tags on the filters so you don't re-use them. They are crazy, but the machines are extremely reliable. We have one or more in both our locations.

As I mentioned above, 2/29/2024 provided to me an extra day for an extra dram so I made it count. I cracked a bottle from a cool Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon we did for Taster's Club (look 'em up online). I suspect it'll be released through one of their whiskey clubs but I'm not sure.
But this is really good. I selected all 8 of these barrels myself, which is rare. Usually, we have a group of us that I prepare samples for, but speed dictated I do the job myself; alas, the things we do for our employers.
Got King Krule in my ears who I am largely unfamiliar with. Kinda digging what I'm hearing on this album called Space Heavy.
Have a look at Syncthing (free) for synchronizing the other machines to the big drive. My setup is Syncthing between 5 servers on 3 different locations + iDrive backup from one of the servers.
Thanks for the tip! I didn't get to my sync project last evening, so I appreciate the recommendation.
...and also thinking, I'll synch all to the NAS, then sync from there to the 20Tb external drive on the Mac. That makes the most sense as the NAS is on 24/7.

I agree. For even more practicality, or OCD depending on your perspective, you can do what I do and flatten the empty boxes and wrap them with their contents in plastic wrap. It reduces storage space, which comes at a premium at my house (too much Schiit!). Look! Even the precious paper manual is there.
