Errr, to be honest there a lasers everywhere! No kids, no likehood of thieves and no civil authorities are invited over so few physical precautions. Walk into any room and there's likely to be a laser nearby. If there's no laser then something waiting for one to be installed or a part for one...
... but I know where every bit is of course!
The particularly dangerous ones are tracked quite a bit better though. (In case any of you ever come for a visit! :na: ) Mind the lathe on the way in please...
I have a printer that I gutted out and I put EVERYTHING in there. No lock, however but the room in which it is in is behind a 1 1/2 inch thick solid metal door.
I have a similar camera case for the optics of my telescope - it's a very good solution, especially because it's dust free.
But I really like your antique case - it has style!
I have a single pelican case, not unlike Tech_Junkie's case that's for everything. Various electronic parts are in various drawers of various desks. :S
I prefer the pelican cases I have used them for years for other things and they are just right for lasers, water proof, lockable and air tight if I want them to be.
All my lasers are locked up in a big 'ol Pelican case, with a fatty Master Lock on it. I sometimes wish I had a smaller case to fit inside the gun safe, but ah well. This works for now.
My HeNe tubes that aren't in a housing are locked away from people in my media closet. I have a hene lamp in the living room and a night light one in the main bedroom
All my parts are in a plastic storage container about 3' x 2' x 1'
Plus what I usually carry with me which I keep at the computer!
I have mine in a Plano Pistol case with the "pluck" type foam to provide a nice cushy custom fit. I have a separate pelican case for my batts and LPM. I actually am planning on getting a small pelican case just for my 12X pocket mini just cause I like to carry it around sometimes
