Graded card storage?

(A while back, on the other board, Jim Crandall shared some pictures of his card room with stacks upon stacks of upwards of 10,000 graded cards, but, I'm assuming most people doen't have an extra 800-1000 square feet of space in their home.)

I will start by saying that I recently found a source that sells boxes similar to the old MJ Roop boxes (both wood and chipboard.) I find these convenient for the few sets I have had graded, but they are fairly expensive and still bulky.

What does everyone else do?

I only have approx 300-400 hundred slabbed cards but......I keep most in a large safe deposit box. Some of the less valuable ones I keep in a 1200lb jewelers safe... Let me reiterate....none of my expensive ones are at home . Inside the jewelers safe, which is rather large, I keep them mostly in 2 fireproof personal safes...along with stacking them high and deep in rubber bands. That's my secret.....
