[sdiy] Storage

[Ben Barwise]

I use these but I am going to change, problem is components can catch
on the inside of the draw so if you are using through hole components
like resistors you end up with a tangled up tape of resistors, but of
course they are cool if you use SMD and they usually come with
dividers so each draw can be divided up.

I was thinking of getting something like this
http://www.whitediabolo.co.uk/ekmps/shops/whitediabolo/images/bisley-15-multidrawer-filing-cabinet-h3915nl-blue-99-p.jpg
from a second hand office supply and then putting trays and packets
inside, there is a place round the corner from me and it has a cabinet
waist height with about 25 draws!

you mean this?

not cheap!
