+1, I just use the boxes, cases, six pack holders, they came in originally. in terms of environment you want an area that stays in the mid to upper 70's or lower 80's for conditioning and then as cool as you can for storage. 50's is great for beer that you want to age (strong ales like barley wine, belgian quads, wee heavy, RIS, etc) and as cold as you can for fresh drinking beers like IPA, wheat beers, pilsners, etc.
