Dang is that a store or a collector’s collection?
That’s sick! But exactly what I would do if I could. 
Speaking of ancillary items, how do you store your desk mats that are not in use? I just got the brain wave that somehow they could be affixed to the wall and they might make pretty good room decorations… perhaps adhered by thin but strong magnetic strips?
We had that discussion some time ago.
I still think my cheap fix still is the winner if you don’t have those big drawers for blueprints and seacharts.

I don’t have enough boards to take up this whole tool chest… yet. I use it to store boards in it when working on them.
Benefits: protected, dust free, locks and easily accessible!
Cons: doesn’t showcase keyboards, may not look good in every office and good luck getting that up stairs

are the drawers deep enough to hold full size boards? My issue is the wide variety of widths and depths of boards. I did give a thought to those modular ikea cubby holes with small shelves/drawers installed in them. KALLAX Shelf unit with 4 inserts, white, 303/8x577/8" - IKEA
KALLAX, for the IKEA-philes here.

I used to have all my keyboards lined up vertically in like two or three of the sections of a kallax, but my amazing girlfriend thought it wasn’t doing them justice and got me the awesome rack I have now

Drawers are not deep enough 16" for a full size board. They could be wide enough 19.5".

Is there a version with the top drawers all the way? 
Can we see your awesome rack? 
Seemed liked a great idea for me until that part lol.
Is the table height workable if you’re standing up or too low for that?
That’s a good solution! I think if I did that here my kids would be too tempted to give it a big old spin and see all the boards go flying.
Oh boy, I hadn’t seen that thread before. dives down rabbit hole

I haven’t seen one that has the wide drawers all the way down at least not from the big box stores in the USA. Home Depot does make them where one side can be bigger for some reason those tend to be much more expensive though (~$700 vs ~ $350 for the one I have).

It is just under 37" (94cm). I have used it standing for prolong periods, it is okay. I use a stool when working for more then 30 minutes on things like desoldering, which takes me a while. Everyone is different but for reference a standard kitchen counter top is 36" (~91cm).
This one they have a HomeDepot on sale pretty often or Harbor Freight (use search term “mobile workbench” and it will be one of the first few results).

though not as elegant as some of the solutions here, I found this storage bin at the local big box store, and whaddya know, it’s a perfect fit for two full-size AEK and AEK II boards flat across the bottom (they look angled, but that’s the natural angle of the boards).

I’m not super big on the custom game like some of y’all, but I have a pretty basic storage solution for my boards and switches.
With another shelf coming next year

I’ve gotten to the point where I have no way to keep some of my favorite boards out. There are simply too many.
To help out with storage and organization I’ve started maintaining a simple spreadsheet of my boards. This helps me to see, at a glance, everything I own and might have tucked away. It’s also helped to give some peace of mind in case something were to happen down the road. Now if I get robbed, the house burns down, or I suddenly kick the bucket, at least there is a record of what was there.
I need to have a talk with my wife about the list at some point, but you see that’s an issue… because it tells the value of the boards… and no one ever needs to see that. Not even me.
