Acer, you best bet if you don't have a large number of medals is to get an inexpensive shadow box and display them. An average sized one is about 10"x15" and usually come with some kind of material you can pin the medals to or you can add your own material (see the "How to Display..." thread for good ideas). I also prefer the kind that have a door instead of fixed glass so I can get at the awards if I need to see the reverse, check serial numbers, or just "hold it and squeeze it, and love it..." (old WB cartoon joke). I only have a few of my "better" medals and orders in the sleeves and they are usually not in there for more than a few months at a time.
Or, get yourself something like this (below) or an even easier method is a fishing tackle box - several people have told me they use this method when they first start out. Again, you will see all sorts of ideas in the "Display" thread.

Marc, in the event that you are making a serious inquiry, the dimensions are as follows (from the website listing):
Storage Chest - 24 x 11 x 17 1/2"h. 6 smaller drawers each measure 11 3/8 x 10 1/4 x 1 1/4"deep, 3 larger drawers measure 10 1/4 x 23 x 1 7/8"deep. Top compartment is 11 x 24 x 1 1/2"deep.
Wood Storage Base - 4 felt-lined drawers, (two 11 7/8 x 9 1/2 x 1 3/4"d., one 24 1/4 x 9 1/8 x 1 3/4"d., one is 24 1/4 x 9 1/2 x 2 1/2"d. Large felt-lined panel can be used as a work area or can be slid under the drawers out of the way. Metal handles on sides. Pairs with Chest. 25 1/4 x 11 1/2 x 11"h. Weighs 27 lbs., 14 ozs.
There is another one with black felt lining and is both a little smaller and cheaper. It really is convenient since I collect more badges and screw backs than anything else, and is small enough to fit just about anywhere. I picked this set because of the number of smaller drawers
