Can I purchase original iMac box?

Apple does not sell the boxes and packaging individually. Your best bet is EBay, you can always ask sellers questions if it's unclear if they have the interior padding and the correct box. You can also attempt Craig's List.

Another avenue is to contact Apple's Recycling Center (http://www.apple.com/recycling/) and see if they can provide a complete box and packing material.

I'll look into those, although I am a bit leery of eBay and Craig's List sellers regarding an item such as this (for different reasons). Wasn't aware of the recycling section of Apple's website so I'll definately look into that.

Anotherrecommendation would be to visit your local UPS Store or any other professional shipping place and ask them to put together a shipping box for your iMac.

I've looked into some similar options but none seem to have anything specific to iMacs (although many do have boxes specificaly for things like large, flat screen t.v.'s) so you end up having to use bubble wrap which placed the packaging in contact with the screen which is not my first choice of packaging method for such expensive equipment.

Going forward, because you don't have adequate storage at your apartment then why not rent a small storage space to save items you can store at home. I've done this for years and it works out very well!

Yea, but it's a cost thing, ya know... 😟 After awhile it' just cheaper to go out and buy all new stuff than to keep the old stuff (or even the boxes for the old stuff) in storage. And besides, my wife would just fill it up with junk!!! 🙂
