I keep my computer parts in an Ikea dresser and nightstand. The weight of the HDs alone is enough to make the bottom drop out of the drawers.
'Picked up a few braces like the ones in the link, but smaller. Home Depot had 'em for something like 2 for $.49. 'Spent 20 minutes securing the bottoms of the drawers to the sides (8 for each drawer, 2 to a side on the inside of each drawer) and they're fine now.
Cheap stuff always has problems like that. Expensive stuff does too. Check out Target's selection of cheap wooden drawer sets, buy something that's not awful and fix it up the way I did mine.
