MOTM

I'm using these large plastic boxes with many little drawers.

I got most of them from www.conrad.com , because if you buy
the full E12 line of resistors, 100 pieces each value, you get
the box for free. Meanwhile I've bought several complete sets
(running out of resistors all the time), so I have a lot of these
boxes for caps, ICs, transistors etc., too.
