Best storage crates according to redditors

In addition to everybody recommending pannier bags:

Rear rack side-mount wire basket: Wald 582, pair

Rear top-mount wire basket: Wald 585

File storage crate or a heavier duty milk crate

Those aren't the best fit, I switched to these. Supreme Milk Crate by Iris

I'm sure many of us here will see someone asking for storage help and immediately think of the Ikea Expedit; there are other sizes of it, the cheapest being $39.99. I don't own one personally, but many pictures of collections and setups seem to feature that certain unit and many praise it for being perfect for record storage. I plan on getting one sometime.

If you don't want to put out all of the cash for that, milk crates are another solution to the storage problem. A quick Google search brings up many options, but I was surprised to see one from Amazon for a lot more than I expected... http://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Milk-Crate-by-Iris/dp/B001L9HV9M

The funkiest color is always cheaper at Amazon. That's why I have a red refrigerator ($30 less than any other color) and an orange chair cycle ($20 less than any other color). If you want milk crates for free you have to steal them.

Got it for Christmas this year.

Here's the best way to mount a milk crate: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LHO8C0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You should buy a milk crate with holes in the bottom like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001L9HV9M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have used those milk crate mount things on 2 bikes. I bought that milk crate and I bought 2 sets of those mounts for my CRF250L. It works very well.

Enjoy and good luck.

I store them in milk crates. Fits 24 and stack. You can steak then from the back of Wallmart.

Okay I think I got you! I found a few different ideas, sort of what you need but not exactly what they description was. Take a look:

Wooden Crate for records that you can add a logo on! (I think this is the best one I found):

https://www.amazon.com/Stackable-Vintage-Record-Crate-Holds/dp/B01G7EVQAA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1494184219&sr=8-48&keywords=wooden+box+for+records&linkCode=ll1&tag=firstvictory-20&linkId=98e8136979f8cd3a27593fb1bd52ba49

A cheaper one if you just need to box and do not want to make it as nice/fancy and save money:

Not exactly a box, but specifically for records. Maybe it will work check it out:

Hope this helps! These are Amazon affiliate links, don't be alarmed, but at least they will give you some ideas and easy options to order from.

You can buy milk crates. I don't think anybody was advocating stealing them.

Amazon has a number of options.

24 Qrt Crate

smaller crate

I have a 12" ported sub that bisects the trunk, does that count?

The real answer is I use a generic square plastic bucket for cars that I keep car stuff in, a backpack emergency kit, a tool bag, and some bungee cords going across the top of the trunk that I can hook bags onto with smaller bungees or carabiners if needed. I don't really use my trunk for temporary storage though, most of the time temp stuff goes in the back seat.

In the past I used a collapsible bin like this with some bungiees to separate sections as needed but my sub made that less practical unless I didn't center the sub.

As an undergrad student, this is all-too familiar XD Long post incoming, I’m proud of my findings :P

Whenever I move into a new dorm room, I move all the rabbit supplies in before releasing the bunzilla. The room is totally different, but mr bunny still recognizes the smell of his old things (throw rugs, toys, litterbox, (my) his sweater) and the first thing he tends to do is jump in the litterbox. That’s when things go smoothly.

Other times, he’s thrown a fit and tried to tear up the rugs, toys, anything and everything. Having his chewable and tearable things nearby helps give him an outlet for his temper tantrum. When this happens I stay during his whole fit until he falls asleep. After that, if the room is rabbit-friendly, then he settles down just fine.

Car travel is great because you can make the perfect bun crate. I don’t use my normal crate, but instead I fashion a larger space out of a plastic storage bin (sorta like this? ), one that has large air holes all along the sides. On the floor, I put a layer of litter, then a small towel “nest” that will keep the bun scooped up (so he can lie securely in place without getting jostled about the larger container) On the side he’ll be facing, I put a handful of Timothy hay. With this setup, you can leave hay within reach without stuffing it in his face or making him pee on the same hay he’s eating. If your bun happens to drink out of a bottle, this is the one time when bottles can be superior to bowls. I wouldn’t put a water bowl in the crate, but I stop frequently to offer him water. Just make sure he doesn’t eat a lot of the plastic off the walls and that the lid is secure. I use this kind of crate when I’m on the road for more than an hour.

Look into getting a record crate such as this one which I got a couple weeks ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RA3SX0Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lots of different options on amazon if you don't like this one.

It's cheap, looks great, it's classy, and holds your records vertically so they won't warp. Based on your photo, it looks like you should have enough space to the left of the media center, between the speaker. Or you could place it under the table on which the RP3 is sitting.

Just an idea!

For one thing you should keep a step stool in the kitchen so you can use the top shelves. Then you should look into getting these kind of stacked drawer organizers to use up the vertical space. If you don't mind getting weird you can check out other kinds of organizers too meant for crafts or clothing...no reason they can't work for many pantry things as well if you want no space wasted.

Those are all excellent. The small drawer unit also comes in a 5 drawer version:

This is an alternative for the medium drawers that fit baseplates:

This is the same height as the large drawers, in case the large quantities don't require the full wide drawer

I have a setup pretty similar to yours (same mobo, same cards, maybe same processor, can't see your fully); here are some things I've learned about it.


First is that to run more than 5 cards per rig you are going to need to run Linux. I've tried 5 cards on Windows 7 and it ran but unstably for a while with hand-picked older drivers. Supposedly Windows 8 can handle 5 without trouble, but I haven't tried it. I haven't been able to get Win7 to run 6; I don't think Win8 will either. I wanted to run windows for voltage control (my first cards were Sapphires), but it wouldn't do what I needed. Linux doesn't have voltage control, but with your cards that shouldn't be an issue because they can (usually) run the F43 BIOS that runs at a much more reasonable 1.09v. I would strongly suggest flashing them sooner rather than later; it really helps with heat among other things.


(btw, if you are using milk crates for cases, these will fit 6 cards better than the staples/home depot ones: http://www.amazon.com/24qt-Blue-Red-Green-Crates/dp/B007IUPR0I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370712198&sr=8-1&keywords=milk+crates)


I tried Xubuntu 13.04, Lubuntu 12.04, and BAMT on usb drives. I could not get the 'buntus to run stably. They would crash, and they had issues/bugs with rebooting where I would have to be physically next to the machine pushing the power button. I'm not blaming it on the distro; the problem may have been installing it to a usb flash drive. BAMT Litecoin ran like a rock with 5 cards after I updated the Catalyst drivers, but I could not get it to run with more than 5. Any time I plugged a 6th card into the mobo anywhere, X Windows would not start. I eventually went with Debian 7.0 Wheezy, Catalyst 13.4, and the latest cgminer installed on a regular HD. Note that you have to compile Cgminer to work on wheezy (the readme has instructions and dependencies); don't forget to download and copy the ADL includes into the ADL_SDK folder if you go this route.


So far, Debian has been running smoothly with 6 cards. You might even be able to do 7, but you would probably need another power supply with an Add2PSU, and 7 cards don't fit very well in even a 24 qt milk crate.


For linux, your remote admin choices are more limited, but the OS is designed to use them so I think it works more seamlessly. You can use simple SSH to control the boxes via command line. If you don't know the linux command line this may be a pain. You can also use xrdp ("sudo apt-get install xrdp" without the quotes at the command line) to connect from any computer and get a full graphical interface. You can connect through windows using Remote Desktop Connection. There are other options including various versions of VNC, but those are the ones I like.


I am planning on running ANUBIS on a Raspberry Pi to get a similar kind of remote monitoring capability to the one BAMT provides out of the box. I haven't yet set that part up; if you message me I can give you an update when I do. Anubis is also supposed to be able to do remote control of cgminer; this would be good because then you'd only need one computer that was accessible from the internet.


Oh, and you will need powered risers. I got mine from BuyAHash. His username on Reddit is mrstickball . I had a great experience; he had great communication and the shipping was fast once the risers arrived from the factory.

Best deal I have found:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005D5GREA/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_2?colid=BL1CN3IYLABD&coliid=I1T0NDNHC938TJ

I'm not sure how the quality is, but reviews seem favorable.

Amazon sells 3-packs for $25

I couldn't find a good deal locally so I ordered these off Amazon. For three of them, the price was perfect:

http://www.amazon.com/24qt-Gallon-Pack-Milk-Crates/dp/B005D5GREA/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1331300372&sr=1-1

They hold a full case with about two inches extra on the long side of the crate.

How tall is the bar?

1. If there are woods nearby, go forage for something to set your feet on. I found a thick short log at the park where I work out at when I was at this stage. I always carried it back to the woods when I was done so it wouldn't get "cleaned up".
   
   
2. Buy or find a cheap milk crate or two. Something like:
   
   http://www.amazon.com/Buddeez-Milk-Crate-Storage-Black/dp/B007XDL9WK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1409597043&sr=8-6&keywords=milk+crate
   
   or (taller for later progression)

Here is a link to the boxes used for this display if anyone is interested. I bought two packs and had just one box left over.
