Default Re: Storing / Sorting Resistors?

I've gone for three stacked 5 wide by 4 high drawer units for 10-100K decades of E12. Other values (oddballs, E24 and above specifics etc) get another 5 wide by 4 high rack with ranges of values for each decade.

Wirewound and power resistors just get one larger drawer per decade plus another random drawer of "MISC WATTY Rs".

Capacitors largely lurk in E3 labelled (1, 2.2, 4.7) drawers with any intermediate values in the lower value drawer. Big electrolytics are somewhat randomly scattered!
