Reddit mentions of Plano 2-3700 Prolatch Stowaway (four pack), Clear

There's a ton of these out on the market from different companies: but look for a board about the size of a standard piece of paper that's just a bunch of criss-crossed elastic straps. Usually found in the automotive section or luggage section of most large all-in-one stores like Walmart.

The one I have is a Cocoon Grid It, but I've seen similar things for cheaper elsewhere.

If you have a ton of flash drives go to any craft store and look at Bead Organizers, the little compartments usually are a perfect fit for most flash drives. They have similar things in anything that carries fishing supplies, but in my area those tend to be more expensive.

That said, I've seen some sysadmins use nice tackle boxes for different connectors and dongles. Not the big boxes, but something like this that they keep in their backpack.

It's a Plano case. Here's the link I used to purchase this case.

Chess piece storage boxes tend to be fairly expensive. An alternative is to go to your local fishing shop and by something like this:

They exist in a variety of sizes, and with the adjustable dividers, they can be made to fit almost any chess set. If you want extra protection, buy an extra big box and add some styrofoam for padding. But even without styrofoam, your pieces should be safer than in an ordinary chess storage box.

16 drawers for $20? I like it!

I use to carry a small Plano box, to hold a couple spare batteries and and rebuilding supplies.

Im not sure if this box is the same, but it’s an example: Plano 2-3700 Prolatch Stowaway (four pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007N5ZULO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oZV.AbXRG29JP

Thanks for the suggestion.

Amazon has the Plano boxes here as a 4-pack for anyone interested. My tool cabinet could use some organizing too...

Thanks! I think I found that exact model on amazon:

EDIT: actually the compartment slots are different

Depends on how many things you have.

I started with this Plano 3700, but out grew it pretty fast. I have several additional pro-latch boxes of various layouts to hold the added content.

But thats just for storing at home, or (when i play HotAC) allows me to pick the 4 trays i need, put them in, with all the large ships in the top section (with pluck foam to hold them), and carry that.

Now if im just taking a couple built lists to my FLGS to play for a day, i put my play stuff in this Frabill Softbag that holds plano 3600 size trays.

In that, this tournament tray fits to hold my range rulers/maneuver templates and such. (They also make the tray to fit in the 3700 size as well)

The plano trys are good because the compartments can be adjusted to fit the size of the ship to reduce the amount of space thats wasted. I also go a bit further and add some cotton in to protect the ships paint and so they dont rattle around too much.

Here are some (rather old) pics of my collection in it.

I usually just use those Plano storage containers with the dividers. I think the last few I bought were from Walmart by the fishing stuff. They're usually pretty cheap and come varying sizes with dividers. Something similar to this.
