I like to store my components in those little parts drawer cabinets. I usually buy the cheap 40-drawer ones from harbor freight because... they're cheap! I label each drawer with the value of the parts in it and if I buy in-between values, I can just reshuffle the drawers. It's made building way faster and more enjoyable for me.
Anyway, I spotted these 9-drawer cabinets (http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/22-16354?scode=DD1493&trk_msg=0D1EBK6CH35KV9MADQ9MR4DTE8&trk_contact=BVM9DRK0RLPLDHSQQ8VQPG241C&utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=22-16354&utm_campaign=DD1493) on sale at MCM for $3. It's not many drawers, but that's cheap!
We'll see what happens. I ordered 5. $22 and change.
I got them Saturday. They will do the job but I would not drop one too far. Cheap, all plastic construction. They were all sold out the day after I bought mine. I paid about $22.50 for 5 of them. They are actually 12 drawer units. In total that's 45 small, 10 medium and 5 large drawers. Hopefully I won't need any more of these things.
I just noticed my "diode destroyer" designation. Very appropriate since I just burnt up one when I forgot to reverse the diode on the Pasty Face I'm trying to make work at the moment.
The drawers I use aren't very strong either. I just need them strong enough to sort parts and they work well for that
