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.

Subject: Storage Systems for RIS


And... how do you store your parts for Lego Mindstorms?

I am sure some of us have gone to the extreme... having at least 6+ RIS
systems (well over $1500.00 of Mindstorm related parts) and have spent • equal
amounts on fantastic wall mounted and labelled storage systems that fit
directly over our dedicated Mindstorms workbench(es).

And, there are those of us who have one RIS set and use the original box • as
our storage system.

Just this last weekend I set up a storage system at home that might be for
the "rest of us". It is a Plano model 1234 Tackle box (the kind used for
fishing). They can be found for about $25. A link follows. I bought two of
these and found the two were able to accomodate my sets (which are : 3 RIS
sets plus a Mars set, a Ultimate Builders set, and assorted other parts
(chains, extra gears, homebrew sensors, etc.).

I find it a great system that provides good resolution for parts in the
adjustable "bins"... with the excellent feature of being extremely • portable.
(the height of the trays is enough to support most parts - other tackle • box
systems may have shallower trays).

Just tought I'd mention it.
