this is really more my office than my house, but I got tired of the spaghetti of wires I had connecting all the HVACR control devices that I program and test. I had built a small 24"x24" panel with plywood that just sat on the floor, but I've accumulated more stuff and the wiring had become unmanageable.
This was the mess before I took it all apart at the rent house.

My wife is in radiography school and wanted some old-school x-ray viewing lightboxes, so I found some on marketplace from a neurologist that was retiring and selling off his office. He had them mounted on this wooden rolling stand, but my wife wanted them wall mounted so I got to repurpose the stand for myself.
This is what I have done today. I have a switch for 120VAC and one for 24VDC, and then the big gray box has a 120-24VAC transformer inside it with which I feed 24VAC devices.

Devices that lack any human-machine interface are on the back; no need to see them if there's no display or keypad.

I've still got a fair bit of wiring to do to get the less commonly used devices going but for now I at least have the ones I use more than once a week.
The best part is, most of these things have a web interface so I just have to run them all to a switch and into my house ethernet and I can roll the whole thing into a closet and not have to see it at all. For now it's out because I need to add a receptacle to my closet, but once that's done it'll be out of sight.
