I got several of my modules from "collector" sites and one practice I've adopted is putting modules into polybags (like large comic book protectors). It should help keep module contents from getting lost and protects the outside covers as well. You can put in cardboard inserts to stiffen them as well, if they're too flimsy to stack on a shelf. In a pinch Glad storage bags will work as well, though they look a little funny on the shelf.
For boxed sets, I just pack them tightly or use good bookends (designed for magazines) to hold them closed. Polybags or storage bags are good to use to keep the interior contents from getting lost or damaged.
As an aside, I keep my D&D plastic minis in tackle boxes and metal minis in storage cabinets (the type you see for keeping hardware like screws, nails and other stuff). Home-cut foam lines the bottom of the drawers for the metal minis so they don't get scratched or scuffed.
The biggest storage problem I have is storing Dungeon Tiles in a way that makes them both easy to put up and find a specific tile. So far, I haven't really found a good method for this, they're all kept in tackle boxes at them moment - great storage, but can't find a damn thing when I need it.

A bookcase holds the vast majority of my collection. The books are kept according to my own system. My Dungeon and Dragon Magazines are kept in plastic magazine holders that allow them to be stored upright but still allow me access to them without them falling over.
My boxed sets are kept upright. The shelves they are kept on are completely full, so I don't have the issue of them falling open. All my boxed sets are from 3.xE and are in really good condition so I don't think that they would fall open, even if they weren't jammed shut.
I really don't think there would be a better system for me to store my books other than on a bookcase.
My dice and various gaming aids are kept in a couple of desk drawers. My D&D prepainted minis are kept sorted in a number of different ziplock bags in a plastic tub. My dungeon tiles are also sorted in ziplock bags in another plastic tub.
My PDF's are stored in various folders on my computer, flash drive, CD's and also backed up on a portable hard drive!
