All my gear sits at home in Pelican cases. The cases have the Pelican dessicant. The Pelicans all have the dividers versus the pick-n-pluck. Ginormous case for the Hensel Porty kit, a 1610 for the cameras and lenses, and a tiny Pelican that keeps the D5000 handy with lens attached.
I've gone the cheaper route. I bought a couple of plastic storage containers from Target - the kind that slide under your bed. They're probably 4ft x 1ft, my lenses, flashes, film bodies all go in there. Mostly the stuff I don't use.
I store all of my lenses in airtight containers that I got from Bed Bath & Beyond. I use zorb-it to control the humidity in the case. I live in a very humid climate and had fungus in 2 of my lenses due to just storing them in the closet. Not making that mistake again.

Thats an impressive collection you have. I just hope you don't live in an earthquack zone. With all of those that are occurring around the world these days, anything seems possible.
keep my stuff in the lowepro backpack (flipside 400) and stuff i carry in the lowepro classified 160 aw. All is protected very well, dustfree and ready to go if i need them.

I appreciate everyone's input. How about older lenses and minimizing problems such as condensation, mold, and fungus?
I use a chest-type gun safe that is bolted to the floor. It stores my cameras, lenses including 300mm, 400mm, and 500mm canon lenses and all the lenses not in use,plus a bunch of guns. Security is paramount for storage.
Pelican and Lowepro bags for travel.

I have a bunch of camera bags and cases. Some of the equipment is in cabinets with doors. Basically there are no special storage conditions. However, I live in a temperate climate with constant HVAC.
