I store them in plastic drawers like this:

Most often needed values (like 1k, 10k, etc) I store in their
original 1000 pcs carton box.

Yes, large scissors do it quickly if you're storing in pill jars.

Or http://goo.gl/e3vI for the long-line impaired :)

I keep 121 values of E24 series 1% in five decades of single value
bags stapled together at the moment -- 10R to 1M, the 1M is last on
the 100k decade. The extra (low, special or common used values)
resistors are separate as in a photo posted upthread.

Finding the right decade and flipping through the sequence is
quite easy. Back when I setup pill jars at a workplace, I drilled
a large panel out for the jars, wrote the value on the lid and put
stored them in sequence.

Froogle "small parts cabinet". Home Depot sells them if you're in the
US...Label the draws.

There are plenty out there that are of the ESD dissipative variety
as well.

Pretty nice. Double over-priced. USA made. That is important.

Pull the tape off while you still can.
If you store all the decades in the same drawer (1.2,12,120,1200 etc.)
it takes a LOT fewer drawers. It's not hard to find when you're just
looking
for one decade color...and you KNOW it's in that drawer.
