Ah, nothing fancy box-wise then... Just a brown box.This picture was taken a few years ago... under the boxed "VIC 21" is the SuperPet box from the factory.

Although boxes are easier to pile, I buy vintage computers to use them once in a while. Thus most of my collection is stored out of their respective boxes, and I only buy a boxed computer whenever it is cheap.
I just remembered my Acorn Electron has the original polystyrene, but no outer box. Does it count as a boxed, half-boxed or unboxed computer in that case? What if I have the box, but lack the polys? In both cases, I could pile it quite reasonably, so maybe we should divide it into pileable and non-pileable computers. On the other hand, any square box like a tower PC, Amiga 2000+ and so on would categorize as pileable even without their shipping box.
