How do you store your pcbs, hardware and control panels?

MODS: I wasn't sure where to put this, so if I'm in the wrong forum topic - please feel free to move this.





I was taking a look at all of my stuff, and realized the difficulty I'm envisioning with space, and keeping everything safe and clean.



So, with all of the experienced users, collectors and tech-savvy folks here, I thought I would just ask...



How do you store your pcbs, hardware, marquees/art, control panels, etc?



Can anyone offer suggestions (pics also appreciated.)



If a thread like this exists elsewhere, please point me in the right direction.



If not, I thank you for your time in advance!

I store all my pcbs in cabinets...that's just paranoid ole me though...plus I have a cat who likes to short out my boards with static...anyhoo, that's where I keep mine-inside my cabs.

Art & marquees should be stored in a cardboard box not folded in any way in a nice and dry area that you frequent most, such as a living room or a bedroom.



boards should be stored in bubblewrap & antistatic bags in a rubbermaid tub like one of these.

Homedepot garage rack, and a lot of empty Cisco boxes fit quite nicely for a majority of the PCBs I own.

Nice!



You either work there or buy a bunch.

Nah, the office building I work at had all their phones replaced (hundreds) with Cisco IP phones (and a couple new routers). They all looked at me strange when I asked for the empty boxes.

You can add me to the list of people storing their boards in bubblewrap/rubbermaid containers. They have these 3-tier tubs for like $20, and I can fit 2 of my CPS-2 boards in each section, for a total of 6 boards. Plus, you can stack one set on top of another. I've got 7 of them in my closet (I've got a LOT of CPS-2 stuff). The only thing that won't fit in them is the Model 2/3 stuff, and my absolutely batshit insanely large Primal Rage board.
