Organization tips?

  So does anyone
have a preferred way in which they organize all the many
hundreds of bits of stuff you need when you are keeping older computers
alive? 
Wires in one box, cards in another, drawers for drives, memory, processors.
Lots of sticky labels. Marking things up properly, even cover plates or
mounting brackets, is essential. 
Markers, postits, masking tape, and clear tape to stick down a postit for
good. EVERYTHING that I keep that goes across my bench gets a label, postit
or just masking tape with what it is, the date, and a summary of status and
contents. Boxes get marker or masking tape to show contents, and all the
clear storage gets a sheet of paper inside that I can read through the
walls.

Major thing I do wrong, failing to throw out the junk, and move the good
stuff I don't want on to other people who do want it. This hobby craves
space, and if you get too much stored there is no room to play.
