Arduino components storagebox

Hi there!

 

I recently started using arduino, and now I'd like to organise and store my components. So I'm looking for a (not to big) storage box, I live in the Netherlands so a 'local' shop would be appreciated of course.

The main issue I have is that a lot of websites offer either too big, or (I think) too small boxes. So I'm looking for some recommendations.

 

I hope you can help, and if you have any questions, please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

My recommendation would be to visit IKEA and see what they have. It will depend entirely on what you want to store. Even a store like Action has a lot of containers and stuff! 

One of those shelves with a ton of drawers is probably convenient too, if you're not gonna carry it around a lot.

 

And perhaps a thrift shop (kringloopwinkel) will have something available too, in the equipment department.

Thanks for your recommendation, I totally forgot to add, that I'd like to put the box in a backpack. I don't have that much components so i don't need complete drawers or something.

Totally forgot about hardware stores. Stores like Gamma, Karwei, Hornbach, etc. probably also have a ton of different containers that can lock closed.

I would get one of those that has removable dividers, so you can configure it yourself.

faceplant: I forgot i live 5 min away from a praxis, so i'll go there and see if they have anything that seems decent. Thanks for you help eitherway!
