I want to keep the manuals for my cabs minty. I want to them together and safe from folds/tears. Some have three holes for binders and some don't. Any ideas? How do you store them?

On my hard drive :D

Plastic Bags would probably be your best bet. Put each one in it's own bag and seal it up. If you're worried about them bending (being stored vertically), you could probably add some cardboard in there to hold them up.
 
I have a couple 3-ring binders with all my manuals. I dont care about their mint-ness. I use them for what they were printed for.
 
I just put them in the bottom of the game. No binders or anything, is that bad?
 
Binders are a neater way to organize them. Especially with monitor manuals
 
I have a deep 4-drawer filing cabinet like the one below filled with manuals. I have a lot more manuals than I have games. While I often look at the PDF's online (or downloaded), sometimes a hard copy is much easier to work with - especially on the floor behind the cabinet. And not all manuals are scanned properly, so you can't always print it out...

Same here.
 
I use portable plastic storage boxes called "Jumbo File Mate" by Home Office Solutions. I got them over 10 years ago at Kmart, I believe. I tried to find a picture online, but I turned up nothing.

Each File Mate holds about 40 manuals, give or take a few depending upon the thickness of the manuals involved.

I also add one of those "do not eat" silica packets to each box, to insure that the manuals will remain nice and dry.
