How do you store/display/keep your photo equipment?

I'm finding about 1/4 of mine is kept in a large Pelican case, 1/4 is
kept in my Lowepro backpack and the rest is strewn about a large table
that I pick and choose from as needed.

Yep, that sounds about right ;-)
Though mine is spread between my Lowepro & my Desk-ish :-)

If I could describe it here in 10 lines I'd be way ahead.

I won't be impressed until the city (or someone) pipes black ink directly
through a meter to my printer in the basement.....I am thoroughly sick of
changing cartridges in the middle of a long print-out....And/or having to
run down to my local stationery store and buy them at $20 each.....

Look at the CFS tab and see if they have one for your printer. I was
reasonably happy with the set up I had for my Epson 1280 Until the
printer wasn't wide enough :-)

Well... all of my film stuff except the cameras are in the darkroom in my
basement... which is so cluttered with crap it would be hard to find the trays
on the table... I haven't used it since I did some slides in the 90s...

Most of my accessory stuff is in a bookcase in my bedroom, all of the small
stuff is in cigar boxes donated by my friend 'stinky'. I use about 3 shelves,
but would prefer drawers... I keep my slide and negative albums here. I also
keep my movie cameras here, except for the old Sony Handycam 8mm that is under
the bed... ( I think...) and one I lent to a friend and haven't seen in 2
years... but the Canon and newer Sony are here.

My Nikon and about 4 lenses, and the filters and charger and whatever I need to
shoot is in a large camera bag, ready to go... it sits on the chair near the
door of the bedroom...

My small Sony Alpha is in a very small bag, one zoom lens attached, sitting in a
drawer near the kitchen door, also ready to go. This is the cam I take to work
for snapshots...

My light table is on the coffee table for now, near my scanner and computer...
along with several shoe boxes of negatives. :)

All of the obsolete crap I have (Minolta film camera, Minolta Dimage 7, Samsung
snapshot film camera, Mamiya Sekor, Poleroid, Canon 35 film camera, 2 old
half-frame rangefinders, 1920s press cameras, box camera, slide projectors, etc
etc) is in the closet, up on the shelf, or stowed in 3 large banker boxes on the
floor...

You may also find a few items in the cupboard above the fridge... and in the
kitchen junk drawer... and in the workshop... oh I forgot the large tripod is
usually in the dining room... the projector screen is in the other bedroom
closet...

I REALLY need a large storage locker with drawers! (And a garage sale...) Maybe
an armoir would be a good idea, they have cheap ones in the big box stores for
around $100... they would need shelves added... I should design a custom camera
gear armoir!

Mine is in the garage under the leaf blower next to the broken window
that leaks when it rains. Don't people have better things to start
discussions about?

The most used stuff sits on an open shelf in a
cupboard.
The less used stuff inside closed doors in the
same cupboard.
The "take with me anytime when needed" gear
is in a photo bag, ready to go at any moment.
The "archived" stuff is in a display shelf in my
office, in front of my desk.
