CD Cases / Furniture Recommendations?


I have a collection of 1,000 CDs that are currently on shelves, simply stacked vertically (on their short sides). Can anyone recommend a good solution to hold and organize these? What has worked for you?

I have been buying about one CD per week on average. Now three years later, I am starting to run out of room on the 1040 CD spinner I described above.

At the time (2004), it was the biggest spinner I could find, but it seems the manufacturers are keeping up with me by making bigger and bigger ones. I recently found one with rated capacity of 1600 CDs. Again, one could probably stuff in more than that by stacking the jewel cases horizontally on the spinner's shelves. Here's the link:

I bought a black one, and, yes, it's huge. Should satisfy my needs until I break down and go to hard drive music storage. (Huh.)
I bought a Lacie from Racks and Stands (http://www.racksandstands.com/Leslie-Dame-Enterprises-CD-456-W-LE1087.html). I am happy with it as it is nice enough to have in our living room/listening room. It has recieved a lot of complements from guests as well.
Check out Sorice.com for furniture quality cabinets for your CD collections. Not the largest, but great quality. I have B-300 that holds much of my CD & DVD-R collections and will likely buy another in a year or so.

I bought a CD shelf kit from Amazon that holds about 900 disks. I’d show a link, but they don’t seem to carry it anymore. Sorry.

You can also look at garage sales.  People are getting rid of CD’d and racks CHEAP! Last year I went to a garage sale and bought just under 1100 CD’s for $150. The guy was thrilled. I kept about 100 and gave the rest away.
