These are pretty popular with collectors (cheap too) - http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10011055/?query=DETOLF

They do the job for loose collections especially if you get some acrylic risers from GW acrylic, anything else like carded or boxed isn't going to fit though.

What Joe said.
The great thing about them (apart from price, look, quality etc) is that they are mass produced and readily available second hand on ebay. The bonus being that you can start off with one and but additional ones as your collection grows (and it will!) :D

Bought one of those Ikea cabinets - Deltolf - great value for money and does not look cheap in anyway - best £40 I've spent on furniture.

Got some moc's in mine along with a few Lego sets to keep the dust at bay. Dusting and cleaning Lego is no fun at all :evil: so helps keep this to a minimum.

These look excellent cabinets, does anyone know where to buy the bulbs for these as I'm not sure the unit comes with them.

The one in the link is also from Ikea but is not recommended by most users as it halogen and gets hot
You can buy LED lights from Ikea which are very good.. loads of ideas on google and you tube
