Why do they gotta be cabnets?
Shelving is ALOT cheaper, and unless you've got a "pretty" garage, it's more functional IMHO
good luck in whatever u do
many of the cabinits I see are cheaply built, but, cost $$$

Keeps expensive tools out of sight. (if your brother-in-law can't see it, he probably won't need to borrow it)
Can be lockable so things stay put, away from children, etc.

My mom's pissed that I have a "big box of car parts" that I plundered for my trofeo (extreamly rare car)...
She doesnt know about the 2 good stearing coulms, 2 working digital dash's, 2 working climate control computers, 2 egr valves, 1 frount bumper, and misilanious interior peices...
She found the box with 3 stearing wheels, fog lights, and my new parts (spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filters, oil filters ect...)
I need some cabinets then I guess

A few years back, I went to this outfit:
http://www.abefurniture.com/index.htm
And got some metal cabinets. Two were matching, good quality. Shelves are adjustable. $150 for two. I got a couple others from them, and from other sources. Some are junk, you have to check out the handle and locking mechanism.
I also use file cabinets, $15 each at garage sales, your mileage may vary.
If you have an outfit like this, you might get lucky and find matching cabinets of industrial strength for the same or less than the flimsy K-mart quality units sold elsewhere.

I bought a used metal file cabinet that is made for sideways records. It is about 3' wide and about 4' tall. The fronts are like awnings they swing out and up and then you push them in. The drawer (it has 4 drawers) then slides out. It is perfect for all of your power tools and I put my catalog rack (old school it holds real paper catalogs) on top. Best thing I got it for $5.
