avman147 · 30-07-2007, 7:36 PM

As title says I have a lot of DVD`s and I am creating a bit of a home cinema in my lounge and would like some advice of a DVD shelf unit that could maybe fixed on the wall or what ever really for storing all my DVD`s

links would be great !

Take the discs out of their cases and store them in wallets.
Bingo, what once took several book cases can now be stored on 1 shelf.

I've indexed mine and built a database to help find them. Much easier.

An Ikea 'Billy' bookcase with extra shelves fitted

avman147 · 30-07-2007, 7:45 PM

for the guy who said to take them out of there cases. I am kind of proud of my collection and get off every time some one new walks in and says " Holy SHI@ you have a lot of DVD`s !! how many do you have etc etc ....

Jules · 30-07-2007, 7:48 PM

Yes a friend of mine has all his on display. It does look impressive I'll admit, but I hate grovelling on the floor looking for those on the bottom shelf... and my friend's colelction has grown to about 1000. It's taking over room.

bit more expensive but looks nice

SadR0bot · 31-07-2007, 1:34 PM

I was flicking through DVD Review or Empire or something the other day and noticed an advert for these guys, RED Displays. Not exactly cheap but Im tempted myself.

jason g · 01-08-2007, 3:02 PM

trouble is, with that case is that he wants to show off the collection so its not a great option for him.
im building my own so i cant comment on the ones he wants, but the one in the corner on the stands unique site looks nice, imo.

Paulie-W · 02-08-2007, 3:29 PM

How about building a false wall, then make some pigeon holes for the dvds.

I quite like the look of the Stands Unique one.

I have got the Billy bookcase for my collections. I got the £182 one shown on the site with the height extensions. They are not the best looking things in the world, but are not too bad, and cannot be beaten for capacity per £. Probably worth paying extra for the veneer ones over the white IMO.

Mine holds 400+ DVDs, the best part of 1000 CDs, a few hundred vinyl LPs, and still has room for some books and a small fish tank!

That is the exact one. One of the 80cm wide unit is almost full of DVDs, on full of CDs, and the smaller 40cm unit has got a mixture of vinyl, books and other things on it.

It provides a lot of storage space, but you are best to buy a few extra shelves for DVDs.

Just been looking at a few dvd storage ideas at homebase:

http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs...Number=8759573

Stores up to 255 dvds

http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs...Number=0172983

Stores 224 dvds

I have 2 racks from a company called red displays. Very good quality. more expensive than Ikea stuff, but it comes all made up so there is no putting it all together yourself.
I would recommend +++++

If you want a top quality solid steel one piece rack then look no further than this company, i buy all my shelving/racking from them and they are of excellent quality and they will paint to any colour you require

Eeeew that is hideous even for Ikea standards. Looks (is) very cheap.

Movieman · 11-09-2007, 3:31 PM

Ive been using these for about the last 5 years, and find them great. first using the computer speed sheet that comes with the unit you type a list of the disc tiles, the spreadsheet arranges them alphabetically and list them 1 to 100, then print this numerical list off and place it on the front of the unit. You then place all your discs in the unit as numbered on the selection list. Then when you want a disc just slide the selector along to that number and lift the lid of the unit and the disc is lifted out for you.
They also lock and have a handle for carrying.

You can get them from this link http://www.romdex.co.uk/index.html
