I Store mine in wooden cases that I made. I got a lot of free wood from work so I used it to make some cases. This is them before gluing up and having the bottom in or the hand holes cut.

I have a plastic beer bottle tree that allows you to store 48 12oz bottles upside down, and have several milk crates that hold almost the same amount.

With the milk crates I place about a case in standing up (normal), then i turn them upside down to end up with 48-50 bottles per crate.

Now I just need more bottles to hold all of the beer I want to brew...
 
First time that I am not jeleous of you American guys.

Here in south Africa the biggest brewery supplied their quarts (750ml) bottles in plastic stackable cases of 12. Deposit on these cases is R11 (about $0.90) so if you ask your bottle store if you can just pay the deposit they will let you take them. Even better the bottle also have a R1 deposit (about $0.08) sour for insert $2 you can get 12 bottles with a plastic case with separate petitions inside.

I just buy these as I need them, even for the smaller 440ml bottles.

Full they live in the case upright, empty they sit upside down in the case (so they stay clean).
Since every case is the same and they have tabs to hold them together for stacking it is a nice cheap and neat solution

That's basically what I have from Germany, plastic racks and /2 liter bottles...but I bought them full, drank them and didn't return them for the deposits.
 
Temp set up in the new place. Just ask for empty boxes at local sushi places and the local liqour stores when I go.

Also don't mind the blinds, my cat is an ******* of epic proportions
