I keep all my boxes I have not only the box for my camera but my flash, filters, laptop, etc, just about everything that came in a box I have the box for. My main reason is not only to store manuals and cords I dont use but also for storage as I plan to get a new camera eventually and will not need to carry all my old cameras accessories and can then put them back in the box for use later.

If extrapolating to computer equipment, that means I would need the better part of a garage just for boxes.

Besides camera equipment, I keep boxes for motherboards, graphics cards, soundcards and more exotic controller cards. And I keep the boxes for the two most recent monitors.

Boxes come in handy because buyers want them. Gives higher resale value to the item for sale. Go figure.
