I'm using the cheap plastic Akro Mills drawers. They make a couple  
different layouts. Here's the Amazon page for the 64-small-drawer  
version:
http://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10764-Drawer-Cabinet/dp/B000VTSOKS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1247250566&sr=8-4
I bet you can find them cheaper than Amazon. These have an integrated  
drawer stop, so it's hard to pull a drawer out and spill its contents.

The more expensive Akro Mills metal-frame drawers are great, in that  
they fit on several different roll-around or swivel frames, but they  
are _really_ expensive.
