Several manufacturers make cabinets with a bunch of little clear plastic
drawers.  I got mine out of a dumpster.  A long time ago, I worked at a
place that sold Flambeau boxes.  They are made for fishing lures, but we
sold them for electronic parts.  I remember TV repairmen happily carrying
off their newly purchased Flambeau cabinets packaged in cardboard boxes
with pictures of jumping trout and marlin on them.  It could be a wise
investment if Paul actually decides to quit selling modules and take up
bass fishing :)
