I used to have adequate built in shelving. Since moving to a new home, I am
interested in options for storing a DVD collection (>400). Your suggestions
for making or purchasing storage and information regarding DVD binders
appreciated. Thanks.

Build your own. All the cases I've seen that are designed for DVDs use
either laminated particle board or are really expensive.

A trip to Home Depot, combined with very minimal woodworking skills will
produce a nice set of shelves that you'll be proud to call your own. And
you can do it for half the cost of a laminated particle board shelf.

I just went to Office Depot and bought standard wood black shelves. They
are not fun to assemble, but they were quite inexpensive. Two or three
6-shelve units should house your collection, and look nice in a contemporary
decor. O'sulliven Rockford collection.

But isn't there a lot of wasted space because you don't have enough
shelves to place them as close together as you could if you built your
own? On an average bookcase that can add up to 3 or 4 additional
shelves.

The shelves I have can be arranged at any height. However, since there are
six, I have left about 2.5 inches per shelf open at the top to fill the
entire space. If I had totally custom cabinets, I might get one additional
shelf in....or I could simply buy a shelf and add it to what I have.

Here's the one I bought from Bestbuy.com. Its not a bad deal and has a lot
of storage space.

If you really want space efficiency, you have to go with drawers, such
as <http://www.can-am.ca/cdvideo1.htm>.

Some people have previously posted the suggestion of using DVD sleeves so you
can store hundred's in a very small space.For shelves that store nearly 2000
CD's (I'm not sure how many DVD's that is) check out

Those are excellent, but expensive.

Wow, that is a bargain. The last time someone posted a link to a similar
cabinet it was something like $299.
