BTW, anybody have good ideas on how to sort resistor values into multi-drawers so that they are fairly easy to access when you need them, but you don't end up with a single drawer of a single value with a single "1W 1M" resistor in it?
Well I probably don't have as much electronics stuff as I gather you got 
But I have a system of sorts on my 35-drawer cabinet. I got mostly 1/4 watts 5% resistors, so as they say; "your mileage might vary".
The cabinet has 4 drawers in the width by 9 rows. So I have organized it as 2 rows for one decade in the E24 series, and cram three values into one drawer. Thus having 4 decades, from 100 ohms to 1 M ohm. The last row is for, well, all other sizes 
One for <100 ohms, 1/4 watts, one for <100 ohms and >1/4 watts (those that fits anyway), one is for the > 1 M ohm sizes, and the last one got nothing to do with resistors. For now.
All drawers are not used equally much though..
I just thought of one thing; I should turn the system upside-down, that is, having the lowest values at the bottom (Seems logical too), so I won't have to get up for the top drawers with all the so-far more commonly used 100 - 10k values. Why didn't I think of that before?
