How Do You Organize Your Gear?

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?"

They've got these things called "closets" where you can sort your stuff on "shelves" and then close a door in front of these "shelves" and everything looks neat. Best of all, your house might already be equipped with some! Ask your mom to point them out to you.

If you run out of closet space, they have these pieces of furniture called "cabinets" which are just like closets, but not built into the walls, so you can put them wherever you like. Look into it. Good luck!
