DVD Storage Drawers

Hi,

I'm looking for a chest of drawers to store some of my DVD's in.
I found a perfect unit at http://www.mmdesign.com/cd-dvd-chests.htm but it's quite
expensive!

Does anyone know of a company in the UK that sells something similar?
Thanks.

I'd be inclined to look around office equipment suppliers - my own
preference is for drawers that let you store the discs spine-up,
rather than end-up, so you can easily see what you've got - and I'm
not keen on throwing the boxes away, as MMDesign seems to want you to
do...

I keep a lot of my CDs in an old medical records filing cabinet - 7
shallow drawers in the same size shell as a standard 4-drawer filing
cabinet - it's hardly cosmetic, but very practical... DVDs would also
fit, spine up - two rows parallel to the drawer front, with a few
'fillers' at right angles.

Actually I used to use a bookcase to hold mine, but it wasn't really
efficient so I decided to build my own. I bought a 4 x 8 x 3/4 board of
maple, and that was more than enough to make something nine shelves high and
three feet wide. It gives just enough space that a standard clamshell can
swing out without hitting the top. I beleive it can hold about 650 standard
cases, but I haven't really tested that. If you want the schematics and
materials needed send me a reply.
