How is your garage Tool chest setup?

Im just trying to get some ideas on how I might want to set up my tool chest. Its the two story chest with plenty of room for my tools, air tools, etc....
Ive done some searches and still havent found what I like.
Photo's are a must...

Thanks

I don't have any photos of my own, but when setting up I decided portability was key for me.

I wanted to be able to take the tools with me to events shows or the track.

I ended up finding the Dewalt TSTAK system, and I love it. It's light weight, has good sliders and casters, Fit's all my air tools, sockets, wrenches, drills etc. etc. and I'm able to mix and match what I need to bring if I'm going portable.

When not in portable mode or a stack on the casters (during repairs), I can knock them down and shelf them as normal drawers.

I have a bunch double and single drawers:

Though I have a roll around tool chest, I also have pegboard and hangers mounted over my workbench for my frequently used tools.
