High capacity disc stroage?

    My DvD collection is gradually getting bigger and my current storage system (a box under the table) is getting over-stressed. It's not just DvDs that are the problem though. Game CDs, music CDs, video CDs. I've hundreds of discs taking up way too much space.

    A holder for the discs themselves would be great, but it does have the disadvantage that it might be hard to find the disc I'm looking for and I might damage the discs while putting them in and out.

    A holder for the cases is more of a problem. To hold so many cases of different sizes it'd have to be huge and consequently finding some astetically pleasing is difficult.

    So..........What do you guys use?

    Well I would 'suggest' a cd storage case. You can hold up to 240 in one case and you order them chronologically or by letter. You would have to remove the case, just slip the cd into the slip. This would be good for transporting your cd collection also. It takes up very little space and it would be easier to find a cd and take it out if it was in order.

    you can pick up decent enough cd or dvd shelves in the likes of argos, with slots for each thing... however, I find that getting the shelves with the cd and dvd sized slots can be a pain for things like box set cds (or ones with cardboard fancy packaging :D), and especially DVD's as they are more likely to come in unusual packs (like Collectors or special editions).

    I'd say your best bet is to just buy or make some shelves, and pack them all on together, but try and get a unit of shelves (or ones with sides), cos the cd's and that are bound to fall over alot, which is a pain in the tits.

    my brother made me a small unit, that could hold dvd's. basically its a wooden square with a shelf across the middle. holds about 35dvds/games, but much more cd's. i have 3 of them now stacked ontop of each other. each time i fill one up, i get another one made.
