Hehe - I have to admit that they're just sitting on my coffee table in
their plastic bags at this moment in time, but generally I use the steel
shelled, plastic drawer cabinets, and put two resistor sizes in each
drawer (with a divider), and a label on the drawer for both values.

However, since I do most of my stuff in digital, there aren't that many
different sizes. I could envisage having several cabinets just for
resistors!
