Does anyone have any suggestions for a good and inexpensive DVD rack that holds around 200 dvds? I have them scattered on the floor right now, I find it quite unattractive. I'm looking for a rack that's light weight and durable. Does anyone have any suggestions? And where would I be able to find it? Thanks.

Those look real nice, ripthorne, but I was looking for something a bit more inexpensive. Maybe something made out of plastic or something. Yea, I know, I'm a cheapskake.

I picked up the following rack for my DVD's in snapper cases at Best Buy for around $25. They have a pretty good selection, I've bought most of my DVD storage units through them.

search the word "mead" at amazon's electronics section and you will find 30 DVD capacity plastic holders.

One is good, but four look great when they are completely filled up.

I am currently thinking of upgrading to those Boltz ones but the price is still too high and I need one with an expansion kit soon.

Hi Low RG, that rack of your's looks real nice. But it looks like it's better suited for a large collection. I'll probably look into that rack once I collect enough dvds. What's the wire holder next to the rack? It looks like it would be easy to move around. How many DVDs can you hold in that? You get that at Best Buy too?

Ripthorne, I checked out that Mead/Laserline DVD30ND Plastic DVD Organizer. It looks very economical. Do you know how it mounts to walls, screws? I will probably have to move my collection around, and I don't want to be putting holes all over the place.

Heh, thanks for all the help guys. When you think about it, it seems odd for me to spend so much time on such a frivolous matter like this. I could be using the time to be actually watching the DVDs . Oh well, I love this stuff.

The Mead rack has holes in the back for you to put screws in or pins to hang your rack on.

I just stack mines on a table.

Low RG

Rewap,
That rack I pictured is supposed to hold 288 DVD's. If you have close to 200 you might want to check it out. That wire rack only holds about 40 DVD's and cost about $19 (at Best Buy).

Low RG,

Who makes your snapper rack? (There's no Best Buy in Hawaii.)

Thanks.

rewap,

I have 3 of these right now. They hold about 75 DVDs each and cost about $25. I purchased my last two from K Mart.

The rack that holdsmy snapper DVD's is made by Fellowes, a design called Naturals, part #84131. If you can't find it in Hawaii, let me know if you want me to ship you one from here (Calif)? Not sure what shipping would cost?

My Amaray rack was purchased at Best Buy. Made by Atlantic. It's a double rack which should hold approx 360 DVD's. These racks are high quality with metal rods. The single rack sells for about $79 while the double sells for about $119.

Hey Low RG --

I cant see you picture now, but I saw it before. Is this system about the same as yours :

This one is coming out soon at Boltz.

I think I decided on the Mead/Laserline DVD30ND Plastic DVD Organizer. It's cheap enough for me to upgrade to a higher quality rack later on. Is there a cheaper place that sells it besides amazon?

Sorry about that, I was moving pictures around in my directory and it changed the paths. Should be OK now. My Snapper Rack

That rack you have pictured looks nicer than mine. Looks like a larger base and probably thicker shelfs.

Time for a trip to Best Buy. Thanks! Do you know if the double rack can be assembled for one side and still be stable? I'd rather invest in the double and add the second side when I break the 180 DVD mark. Thanks again for all your help.

This unit must be set up all at once. That would be cool if one side could be set up with the other side adding on later when the collection grows.
I'm actually thinking about ordering that monster rack from Boltz, I've run out of places to put DVD racks.

I picked up the single rack from Best Buy last night... great stand. I've been looking for something like this for a while now. I need to get another one since they didn't have the double rack. It's okay since I'd rather have two independent racks because I don't really have a single space for something that wide. It's almost full with 100+ CDs and 70+ DVDs. I was considering the Boltz one, but it's a bit expensive and too shiny. My decor has more brushed aluminum (like the rails for the Atlantic rack). Thanks for all you help! I definately recommend this rack.

I got a very functional one for $29.95 at Best Buy. It holds about 150-200.....

I just got my SPARTAK 238 MediaMaxx Swivel Media Storage Tower from Netmarket that holds over 400 DVD's. The unit assembles very much like BUSH or SAUDER products. It uses a plastic roller bearing assembly (Hmm I better check on the 5 year warranty) but other than that it is great. It has a light oak finish, and black. I like it because it only uses 19" of floor space in the corner. I have nicknamed it the "MONOLITH".

Their member price is $142.49. Minus any Netmarket cash you may have. BONUS BONUS BONUS, I recieved a special offer postcard from them in the mail the day after I assembled it. The card was for $10 off $50, $20 off a $100, or $30 off $150 purchase. If you did not get this offer maybe a call to them will send you one.

Need more space for your multimedia collection? The SPARTAK "MediaMaxx Swivel Multimedia Storage Tower" holds 800 CD's or 500 cassettes or 200 videotapes, or any combination of the above. Easy to assemble, this sleek storage area features easy-clean laminates, swivel base for 4-sided storage and 28 adjustable shelves so that you can customize it to suit your expanding collection. Colors available: Black or Oak/Black. Dimensions: 18 3/4" x 18 3/4" x 52". 5-Year Limited Warranty.

When I first started buying dvd's I went to the local BB and picked up the wire 40 dvd holder. Nice looking and costs $20. I NEVER imagined I'd be working on filling my 3rd rack now. Actually, I haven't bought the 3rd yet. Wish I would of gotten one that holds 100 or so. My room is only 10' X 10', so you can imagine the space these babies take up

Anyhow, to make a long story short, plan ahead before you buy!!!!!!!!!!!! This is for anyone interested in buying a dvd rack.
