How do you display your collection? -Or- Show off your stuff!

I didn't see a general "show off your collection" thread, so if there is one point me in the right direction and kick me in the ass.
How do you put your stuff on display? Of course, if you keep it MISB it'll be different than how you display your freed-from-the-paper/plastic-prison variety...
I just got a new bookshelf for my fledgling collection on Friday night. It was on sale at Wal-Mart for $30 and looked darn near perfect. It's got 5 shelves, has very little design to it (it's a box with shelves and a backing that I can screw into the wall). Definitely good enough for me to put my Transformers on. So here it is.

Right now, I have two bookshelves, a small falt display area on an old dresser, ad much larger flat display area which is basically an old door proped up on some boxes and two glass display cases.
In the bookshelves I have one with RiD, A, and E, the other with Star Wars (tfs, attacktix and action fleet), G1 related lines (Classics, tits, RMs, and THS-02) and BW/BM plus TF attacktix.
On the smaller flat area I have the verious movie tfs.
On the larger display area I have Cyb/GF/THS-01.
In the display cases I have G1/G2/WSTF/Micromasters/Alts/BTs, with Primus standing on top of the 'bot' case and Unicron standing on top of the 'con' case.
Oh and I have MP Megs and MP3 Soundwave/Rumble/Frenzy on my hifi, and MP SS (currently in alt mode) and 20th Prime on my two speakers.
I will get photos done as soon as I've sorted out the movie and cyb displays, both of which are rather a mess right now.

Yes, but I'm doing some rearranging currently. So, after that, by all means.

Well...I guess I could do both...
Tea first, possible multi-homicide, GTA and tf stealage later.

My home displays are all down as I move my office downstairs, but here is what I keep on display at work.
Unicron standing solo at the corner of my desk.
My current line up of Binaltechs, Alternators and MP-01. Look for the impostor!

This is a photo of when I just moved into my place, currently there are some Transformers on Display that didn't make the photo. Sorry it is so zoomed out, when I'm done moving everything in I will post another photo.
And yes, that is a china cabinet that they are displayed in ... I use paper plates, so it needed some use.

Nah, it's a kitbashed Big Time Muscle die-cast car. He's the perfect size and finish to look like a Binaltech so I ordered some Reprolabels, gave him new rims and tires then slapped him up there as as stand-in Bumblebee. If only they'd give this car a true Alternators treatment, it would be sweet.

@Counterpunch:
Do you have love for Jetfire? You have both versions of his Armada mold, and even have his Energon Mold as well as his brother Overcast!

That's one way to look at it...
Another way to look at it is that I have every figure from Armada Energon and Cybertron on display...so Jetfire isn't anymore special than anyone else.
