Three cheers for Plano! I've been using a Plano 758 4-drawer box for years.
It's big enough to accommodate 2 RCXs (an RIS kit and an extra), the Code
Pilot truck (which gets my vote for "best RIS expansion set), plus a few
smaller Technics sets. Completed models will often fit in the top as well.
http://www.wilcoxusa.net/mindstorms/storage.htm for my own snapshot.
Outdoors Online has it for $25 as well.
