One thing I treasure is my old oak card-file cabinet which also serves as a
base for my 3'x4' desk/workbench slab. It's about 36"x30"x18' and has 12
8"x18" 6" high drawers. It has long been filled however and some things I keep
in a 5 drawer 5' metal filing cabinet. Screw-top plastic containers, for
smaller items like screws etc, tools, repair equipment, drives, PSUs and the
like are close-by in an old 2'x3'x5' room divider. The adjustable shelves work
well. The rest goes in cardboard boxes.
There should be some of these old card-file cabinets around and available
since the few people that still use card-files use the smaller cards like the
ones in Rollodexes, and the drawers are just a bit too narrow for paper. They
once were quite common in many offices and are really ideal for comp. cards.
I just use cardboard to cover the irregular bottoms of the drawers. They're
usually stackable too.
