I've posted before that I store mine vertically (yes it's ok to store Copics this way) in a clear plastic retail display unit I got over 2 years for about $50.
ETA 6/21/11: The measurements for this unit are 10" x 16" x 4"
It fits on my counter under my bookshelf.
When I want to use them I slide the unit out onto the counter and take out the markers I need.
But as my marker "collection" grew I ran out of space - I think this one held approx 120 markers.
I really liked how it was out of the way yet easy to access and portable. I could roll it up and take it with me whenever I needed to travel with my markers or even go into another room.
I CAN take my current display unit out of the house but it's heavy! I've got all 346 markers in there now.
Luckily I found this tote bag that is the perfect size to slide the display unit in and it has good strong handles for carrying.
How you store your Copics depends on how many you have, where you have space for them, and how much you want to spend.
