I use electronic storage. The Sony CX995V is one of the most compact ways to store 400 DVDs, and oh by the way it includes an amazing upscaling player with DVD output - less than $250. I have 3 of them, plus 3 VGPXL1B2 200 disc changers with DVD-RW. All are computer controlled through DVD Profiler. Click on the DVD, and it plays  . That's 1800 DVDs stored in a space smaller than a washing machine.

I don't think this will work for my Blu ray discs.

No, you'll need to buy Sony's new BDP-CX960 400-disc BD-changer to store Blu-rays

Hmmmm let's see I would need 12 of them just to get started.  ErK, Sony has two new BD Mega Changers (400 Discs), one is $799.00, the other one is....are you sitting down $1800.  No thanks, lovely idea but way tol much hardware expenditure. 12 of them now, would expect to have to purchase 2 more next year, plus the DVDs and BDs.

I  picked up 5 of these DVD cases on Craigslist for 25.00 each from a DVD distributor that went out of business. I only needed 3 1/2 and still have an extra one for additional purchases. I set them up in my basement which in turn will be converted to a library for the LP's, 45's, 78's, cassettes, CD's and DVD's

You are lucky. I have to run dehumdifiers in my basement, and I couldn't put my library cabinets directly on the floor. Just a gentle nudge to make sure you've covered yourself for that possibility. 

BTW I estimate those cabinets hold about 400 DVDs each ... you got an amazing deal!!!!

Ha, that's what I want!

Well you know, thinking out of the boix - a CX995V used as simply "storage" is still cheaper than many solutions, even the Dacal Carousels. Dacal = $120/150 discs. CX995V = $250/400 discs. Both can be programmed with LoadDVD to spin to the correct disc and pop it out for you when you click on the icon. I know, sounds silly, but on a purely "dollars and cents" analysis, using that changer could still be a pretty cheap way to safely store and access a whole bunch of discs. And if you have a mix of DVD and Blu-Ray, you could program the script to play the DVD, but pop out the Blu-Ray instead of playing it.

Anyway, I know this is kind of a silly discussion. Just wanted to point out some possibilities. As for myself, I plan to get one of the Blu-Ray changers someday, and I still have two projects in process to retrofit a Blu-Ray drive to one of the old DVD changers. Very slow progress on that.
