I am looking for a case where I can store my camera gear. I'm not looking for a travel case, but something to store stuff at my house. I envision a larger lined boxed with dividers for different lenses, bodies, filters, etc.
Does anyone know of anything that would fit?

Get yourself something like a bookcase with glass doors so light can get inside, leave the door ajar so some air can circulate, leave the caps off the lenses. Fungus loves dark, humid, stagnant air. A little plain old fasioned dust won't hurt anything. Sticking your things in a compartmented case in just asking for trouble unless you live in an exremely dry climate.

I just bought a camera (a Panasonic G1) with a user's guide that specifically warns you against storing the camera in the way you suggest -- it even recommends that you don't put it in a bookcase. Apparently the best thing to do would be to stick your equipment on a shelf, unprotected, with perhaps an air cleaner running in the room (lots of air cleaners are meant to be run 24 hours a day.)
