Frank, I've been really happy with boxes that are on this page:

I have a ton of the orange "SB-18"s, as they are labelled on that
page.  I had looked at the Plano tackle boxes before, but I like
these better.

I agree totally with Remy's remarks - I also have several dozen of the SB-
18s and am very happy with them.  K-Mart sells 'em for $5 and I got most of
mine on sale for $4, which is right about what the smaller Plano boxes
(3700/3730) sell for.  Plano does have a model similar to the Stack-On SB-
18s; Plano's version is definitely better built but it sells for $10.

Those are actually one of the types of bins I've rejected. It looks like
they waste about half the volume (though I guess you could lay them
down, alternating back down/front down so the angled parts nest).

?  It looks like a flat case to me...

Oops, I didn't pay enough attention to the page... The CLEAR-VIEW 12-BIN
ORGANIZER is the type I don't like. If the compartments in that were
rectangular, it would suit my needs fairly well, it's a big enough size
to hold a decent number if minifigs.

The flat case might work, I'll have to look at it the next time I'm in
K-Mart.

I use something similar that I picked up at Walmart (in Canada - no idea about
the states), except it's a double sided case.  Kind of nice because the bins
are still a decent size, and you get about twice as many compartments.  Nice
if you're storing not many of a lot of different things.

I've got one I got at Walmart which is similar, but has a cover with
1"x1"x0.5" or so compartments. This stores most of my minifig legs
(well, the ones which have been sorted, it's starting to overflow).
