One other thing I've done with some boxes, is to put them on stacks of 
mousepads or other sorts of "rubber mats".  This reduces any vibrations that
might be amplified by shelving, etc.

I have an U60 that hits a resonant frequency when I put it on a set of plastic
shelving I have (and it gets VERY annoying).  So, I "padded" it with some old
mouse pads.. Wish I could find this type of rubber-foam padding material in
bulk, though.
