[sdiy] KInda OT< not really: plastic boxes

[john mahoney]

I happened upon such boxes last week. Where, why, how? I forget!
:-(  So, of course I *had* to try finding them again. I found the
following using terms like clear, plastic, hinged, and box:

Hinged Top Box 1" X 1" X 0.62", $0.25 each or $2.60/Dozen
    http://www.about-beads.com/Storage.htm

The bottom of this page has 1" cubes, $4/25
    http://www.tedpella.com/box_html/boxes.htm

Feeling unhinged? Go to http://electronicsusa.com/miniboxes2.html
They've got small Hammond boxes, too:

There are some great sources, if you want to order them by the 1000...
