Looking for a good, organized way to store my equipment

I have your basic home brewing set-up for kitchen brewing. I'm looking for an organized way of storing everything so I do not get cat hair all over my stuff. I have looked into a 24"28" toolbox but that is just as unorganized as storing it in a bucket.

Does anyone here have any good ideas for storage? It needs to hold the standard brew stuff in an organized and easy to get way. Here is my basic list:

-Hydrometer
-Hydrometer sample tube
-24" stir stick
-24" Auto siphon
-Crimp-style bottle cap crimper.
-Large Dial thermometer
-Carboy and Bottle brush
-Bottle jet-style cleaner
-24" racking tube
-bottle caps
-Faucet adapter
-Bottle filler
-3 feet of siphon tubing.

I think that covers the basic stuff I'm looking to organize. If there are some compartment (maybe softball sized) that would be great too. That way I can just dump some caps or other smaller things in to them.

Thanks for any tips or advice you have for helping store and organize my brew stuff.

Cheers!

aside from the 2' pieces, you could use a rubbermaid drawer thingy
something like this perhaps

Get rid of the cats... ...and get a nice fishing tackle box from Wal-Mart.

I just have two of those large storage bins from the Home Depot that have the foling over plastic cover..then I just sort the smaller stuff into zip licks...
Keg eqmpt, o rings, clamps, QD etc...

Funny I just cleaned everything out and reorganized today... To each his own man..you'll figure out the way you like to store things
