Kelly -- There is a more affordable cabinet that I use at home and several
professors here also use for their personal collections. All the
references below are for the same cabinet through different vendors; the
cabinet holds about 2500 glass bound slides and 5600 slides in skinny
mounts.

University Products
Modular Slide Storage Cabinet
$99.00

Light Impressions
Stackable Slide Storage Center

It looks like Light Impressions wins in terms of price. Note that you can
buy extra plastic drawer dividers that fit into slots inside the drawers.
I cannot vouch for the complete archival quality of these cabinets, but I
do know people who have been using them for years without any problems.
