I personally like the Plano storage boxes (3600 series). They fit nicely in
most anything that can handle an 8-1/2" X 11" file. I have nearly all of my
Technic pieces sorted into the Plano boxes which I have stored in a small file
box I got from Office Depot. It makes it nice for when I want to take my stuff
to work. :-) The dividers stay in place reasonably well. The down side is the
cost. They are about $3.00 each, but you can find them at K-Mart, or Wal-Mart
which is nice for convenience.
I also use the Akro-Mils drawers. The Akro-Mils brand is a little pricy. I
usually go to Wal-Mart. They have the Popular Mechanics brand which is cheaper,
but is the exact same thing. I would recommend the 18 drawer units. They are
the ones which seem to get used the most in my collection.
For the big stuff I use Iris drawer carts. They are also available from Office
Depot for about $30. The thing I like about them is that they fit perfectly
under the large folding tables I have in the basement. Another thing is that
they have one type which has 6 drawers which I use for basic bricks and one
with 4 drawers where I can store some of my Plano Boxes.
And I wonder why my wife calls me "Psycho Organizer Man" ....
Hope this helps,
