I like to use those semi-disposable (meh. recyclable) tupperware-like containers that are used for storing single servings of left-overs. They're transparent enough to see what board, cables, and power adapters are inside. They take a sharpie well for labeling, and they're stackable. Throw a desiccant from a previous shipment in there and you have long term storage. Not that I'm supporting a single brand, but this [1] is what I'm talking about. hth, Jason.
