I think it's a neat idea, but I'd want it to be more expandable. I always thought it would be cool to setup a drawer system with some kind of backplane, each drawer has a bunch of dip switches you code so each one is unique and it plugs into the backplane when the drawer is pushed all the way. Each drawer system also has it's own dip switches. Everything is then interconnected together as one big system. You inventory all the parts into each drawer and when you want something it would tell you where it is.
But really it's probably easier to just label everything so you can find stuff without first looking it up on the computer. I do want to come up with a modular system myself at some point and just mass build them. The issue with the ones you buy is you can never get the same ones again down the line. If I build it myself they will all be consistent and I would keep the plans/jigs to build more later. What I have in mind is some kind of drawer system with a bunch of smaller boxes inside. 5x5cm 5x10, 10x10, etc could be common sizes and you can mix and match and move them around at will.
I really want to insulate my garage and convert to a shop, other projects just keep taking precedence but once I do that, I will make that box system one of my first wood working projects. I want to build jigs and stuff so I can churn these out like crazy. Organize everything in them.
