Re: did you happen to get a chance to look at the pictures
I'm pretty sure you were just kidding, but in case you weren't:
Colors are often different when first run, different language, boxes are printed,
The Athlons were displayed in exactly the way the Intel tray (not boxed) cartridges are displayed - are you telling me that Pentium 600s don't exist? I agree with you that it's not the ideal way to store these things, but if you have any experience at all with cpus, you know that this is the way they are often treated, and it doesn't seem to hurt them.
I build my home PCs from components that I buy from local retailers. It's fun to put them together and design it exactly the way that I want. Ever visit a white box retailer? You should, evidently you would learn quite a lot. CPUs, motherboards, and disk drives are generally displayed in a glass case - loose, like in the picture. The difference in Japan is they don't seem to be worried about shoplifting, so they don't use the glass case.
