Dell have beaten that before. We once ordered a new roller grip for a printer - just a little rubber ring that picks the paper up from the tray - and that came in a padded bag, inside a box, inside a larger box.

This is why I don't agree with the way recycling is implemented - how exactly are we, the customer, to blame for excess packaging?
I've got a black vinyl disk with a hole in the middle - is this a record?
Ah, packaging is always fun. I once received an envelope with license details in it packaged inside a box that was a good 12" tall, 2ft wide and 12" deep - one of those ones with plastic built into the box inside.
So, the environmental impact of those licenses was pretty huge.
LP, 12" or 7"?
Looking up Vinyl disks (as I'm too young to remember them) I found this:
Do hard disks work like old vinyl records and use needles to record? - Computeractive - PC help
