How Do You Organize Your Gear?

Posted by simoniker on from the use-the-fourth-dimension dept.

truffle writes "Like many geeks, I have acquired a large amount of items and gear over time, including miscellaneous hardware, cables, and such. I have books, papers, Lego, and more. I generally store most things in roughly sorted cardboard boxes, which is neither efficient nor attractive. For the non-messy geeks out there, how do you organize and store your geek stuff? Is it possible to have a clean organized grown-up home, without throwing everything away?"

    "So store your stuff, give it a reasonable amount of time and if you don't use it, donate it. Get some good karma generated in the process.

    I thought donating Insightful/Interesting posts was the only way to raise your karma!

    Frankly, I prefer Rubbermaid. I hate those tupperware parties. Sitting at someone else's house for 2 or 3 hours, listening to everyone rave about tupperware? It's pointless.

    Rubbermaid is the answer. Walk into Target, Wal-Mart, etc, bada-bing. No multi-level marketing.

    Actually, yeah, you're right. I use rubbermaid too. I just called it tupperware because I'm lame and don't really see a distinction.

    Nice to see I'm not the only Rumpole fan around here.

    I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
