Maybe I'm just getting too much and my problem is unsolvable, but...  How do
y'all organize your parts collection (from a hobbyist/researchy lab
perspective, not "production parts")?  Some things I've got enough of for
them to justify their own little boxes, some things are in tubes, there's
the nominally nicely organized jameco set of resistors, there's the bags of
harvested caps (currently divided into "high voltage" and "low voltage"),
there's assorted chips from assorted families that might get grouped either
way, there's big and heavy inductors and transformers, there are LEDs and
light bulbs and reels of SMT parts and ammo packs of caps and new
transistors and harvested transistors, and all too many heatsinks and fans
and boxes and board that have yet to be harvested and who knows what else.
And no matter what I'm looking for at any one time, I can never seem to find
it!  How do you organized YOUR junk?

(I THINK I'm particularly interested in ways you group and/or separate new
parts from harvested parts and such - that seems to be one of the big
complications ...)
