I store them under whatever piece of furniture they decide to roll under. The things that don't roll go in a box.

A lot of boxes and just put it under bed.

Whatever I'm not using for more than 1 year, I throw away and few days later I'm searching for that thing and banging my head against a wall because I threw it away xD

I have drawers and shelves for parts and I keep screws in separate bags inside of a hdd shipping box.

I usually buy stuff from Amazon, and keep the boxes they send things in. Depending on the size of the box, I put stuff in and store it in my basement closet. :P

Other than that I have kept all the boxes for the the parts of the PCs I built and keep them inside the case's box in the attic.

Crates are good, at my old work place we used hundreds of these uline bins for work orders which was really nice to keep stuff together and they all stack.
