You can count me as yet another AFOL that "discovered" that Plano "tackle"
boxes were *really* intended for Lego storage!

The only thing I have to add to the discussion is that K-mart also sells
some "milk" storage crates that perfectly hold these Plano boxes.

The crates will hold Plano boxes flat with some wasted space in the side and
scraped knuckles (at least for me). Instead,  I store them on edge. As long
as you lock the Plano boxes, the parts don't get messed up.

Since these crates stack, the result is pretty dense vertical storage and
the crates also make it easier to a carry bunch of Plano boxes at once. I
suppose the truly hard core among us could use a hand truck to haul stacks
of crates.

Anyway, I thought someone might find this tip helpful.
