I've having a very difficult time finding a toolbox to store my pc stuff in. I've looked on eBay, newegg, Wal-Mart and other discount stores. I check the fishing section and home ware storage.

What I'm looking for is a toolbox that has an smaller box with compartments (with snap down lid) inside for screws/standoffs etc, but a larger bottom with possible slotted compartments to store screwdrivers, and a larger open compartment to keep brackets/usb backplates/molex adapters etc.

I don't want anything to big that it's all empty trays but I can't find anything smaller that has the compartments I need. Any ideas? I can't believe there is not a company that makes a PC toolbox that doesn't come loaded with allen wrenches and soildering tools, crap I'll NEVER use. I don't want tools, just the case.
 
Bass Pro , Cabelas, Gander Mountain.....they all have pretty good selection of tackle boxes. One such as this works pretty good. You must be picky :D

Something like this? This one is mine, I use it just for screws and stuff like that.

All my tools go into my huge filing cabinet.

OK thanks, think I'll check Home Depot. We have one in town and I never even though about it.
 
Actually Walmart has a pretty good selection of toolboxes too, in case you don't find what you need at Home Depot.
 
The thing with tool boxes is that they tend to "Multiply" I started with a simple yellow luggable tool box, and have subsequently upgraded to a black tool chest. The tool chest is great, it was only 99$ at sears and I store ALL my computer parts in it, this saves me from having to worry about the wife or the cat messing with something that may be ESD sensitive.
