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..

I am actually about to build a rack to hold all my Nintendo Vs. boards. Right now they are all laying on a table. It's a big mess. 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...

I won't be any help on this one. I have 2 PCBs; my Tekken 2 is still inside my MAME cab, and my DKJr is currently leaning on the leg of a pinball machine out in the garage.

Most of my boards sit in the cardboard boxes they arrived in off of eBay. I've started setting a few of them in an old dresser drawer my wife had in college a decade ago. LOL Pitiful.

Hmmm.
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...

This looks like as good a place as any to jump in!
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!
