IC storage and ID. It's something we all think about on a daily basis, right? Well, at least since I started organizing all these little bug-looking things I bought for reasons yet unknown.
I had bought a bunch of parts boxes from SBE just before they went dark, because they were on sale and worked well-enough. When they re-emerged from the DSOM and communication was restored they were still as cheap, so I bought some more.
$1.95 gets you a sturdy D"W x11W" X 2"H, 15 dividers, and a removable lid. It's just a basic parts case but offers an alternative to bins and bags. I've seen other really groovy setups that some of you have shared as well.

Fairly simple setup (it goes well with my persona); This one is a BBD / clock / delay box. I haven't yet finished these so the labels are not stuck-ted to the side.
One addition since I ran out of labels; I've decided to add QR code stickers to the lid that correspond to the part beneath. This will open the datasheet in a browser window for quick access. Here's a 2N5952 for example;
They work really well up on the top rack of my bench. Grab-n-Go!
