Those of you interested in this thread may also want to check out

for even more intricate discussions of boxes :)
Seriously, if you are looking for storage options, I seriously suggest
finding a Container Store (http://www.containerstore.com/) near you and
going there. You'll find solutions for everything- I personally own a
garbage can, CD case(s), laundry bag, and lego containers purchased from
the place. Highly addictive too.
