A somewhat more useful view of my current 2x4 collection. The only real changes since my last 3001 photo are the addition of a standard 3001 in Maersk blue, frosted-side 3001s in trans-red, trans-yellow, and trans-blue, and a chrome silver brick. Now that I'm fairly committed to really doing this, I should probably swap out some of the lesser examples for other 3001s in better condition.
A baseplate for display seems inevitable sooner or later, but I like the thought of using this format to see colors next to each other more clearly. Note, for example, what lime (LEGO's "bright yellowish green") looks like next to BrickLink's bright yellowish green ("spring yellowish green"). You can sort of tell that they were designed to be similar (although LEGO's official color naming scheme will likely never entirely make sense).
