How do you store PCBs - Show off your space with some photos

My family was down this weekend, and my father and I started to build a shelf with the intention of storing PCBs in it. Compartments so they could lean next to each other inside static free bags.

I have seen a similar filing system once, but for those of you who have a formal structure / system for storing boards, I am curious to see how you do it.

If you can, take a photo and write a short explanation of how you store your boards.

I assume you label them as working? Maybe you just use dividers and stick them in a tub? Curious to see..

Since I don't have a table saw I need to come up with a creative way to create the grooves the PCBs can slide into. Hmmm...; ▶ Reply to This

Wow. I thought for sure I'd see at least one photo.

Well, I guess I won't feel as bad about my haggardly looking constructed shelf that I hope to be putting up in the next week or so...; ▶ Reply to This

After being inspired by a friend of mine who buys and sells a lot of PCBs via eBay, I got the idea of storing mine in Express Mail boxes from the post office. The boxes are free, and just the right size to hold most PCBs (I have a few that won't fit, but most will). The best part is, you can write the names of the games on the side of boxes in case (like me) you have a habit of forgetting which one is which!; ▶ Reply to This
