Hi guys,
I've finally carved out enough space, time, and money to set up an
electronics lab, and so I'm looking for something to store parts. A
nice drawer wall would be nice. The cheapest I can find is hundreds of
dollars or euro for a tiny rack. That's pretty crazy for a bunch of
plastic... I understand the necessity of tight control for a heart
pacer manufacturer, but I'm just not the target market here. Where do
I find something like this inexpensively? I'm fine with having to
check each of the parts with a megger myself, since it's a thing i'd
have to do once only. So if you see a rack that's not advertised as
ESD safe, but you know it's made out of plastic that is dissipative,
that's fine too. Speaking of which, what plastics are ESD safe? A
table here says that plastics that are filled with carbon powder or
fiber are fine. But it's a bit confusing, saying the same kinds of
plastics are also conductive:

Is there any popular kind of plastic i could search for to know the
vessels are dissipative?
Thanks
