Storage Solutions

I'm just starting to get in to Arduino and I'm starting to collect a lot stuff.
I'm looking for storage ideas.
I'd like it to be portable so I can easily move everything from my desk to other storage.

I need a wide variety of compartment sizes. From very tiny compartments, maybe only 1" square, and then bigger compartments for larger PCBs.

Obviously a basic tool box would work combined with smaller part organizer boxes inside the tool box. Or a fishing tackle box.

Also, how do you organize all your wires like jumper wires, banana wires, and probes? How do you keep them from getting all tangled up?

Please share your storage solutions.

Here are a couple of old threads:

Things get organized automatically as one keeps doing the projects.

For small parts, pill boxes work well.

The individual boxes are not internally compartmented. I've seen very similar items with fewer boxes. Check also:

Will test your best best method for storing wires! And then I usually have complete chaos with wires)))))

Hint

Prewire Arduino I/O pins to colour coded Breadboard headers.
