Need A Good Tower For Some Blu-Ray's and Video Games

So I have this little wooden tower that is already full, and I need something wood or otherwise that'll hold say 300+ Blu-Ray's and maybe 50 or so games.

I am trying to keep it under 100, and would prefer to buy it on Amazon so I can avoid the tax and of course have it shipped to me, but any other stores like Ikea, Target, Best Buy, etc would be fine. It doesn't have to be top of the line or anything, just something that won't fall over after a year.

I have about 150 Blu's at the moment, but I want room for more obviously.

Any ideas?

I've been looking as well. I want one with a door and lock (but not those that hold DVD's in the doors).

Not near as many places have them as you would think. My local Best Buy or Wally Wold had none. Target had a decent looking one, but no doors.

Do you have a Big Lots near you? Mine had something like this for $20 (or maybe $29, but I think it was $20).

I know it held about 150, so you could get two.

These type are a dime a dozen and can usually be found found for $100 or so...

If you have a drill and table saw or circular saw/worktable/saw horse with scrap wood at your disposal, you can make those Target/Best Buy 20 dollar specials into a really good custom tower.

I took one from Target that was too deep for cd's and only came with two shelves, cut the depth so it would fit my needs and added 5 more shelves all for 10 bucks extra.

I never thought of one with doors. Generally, I like to see my collection and have others see it when they visit...

But I do have a cat and his hair can get all over the place, and dust as well, so it might be worth it.

Re: Need A Good Tower For Some Blu-Ray's and Video Games

I've had my eye on this one.

http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Edison-...d_sim_sbs_e_10

It will only hold 100. However, I don't want it to hold my entire collection. I want it to hold Blu-rays, collections and such. Have have built in cabinets for all by DVD's.

But like I say, I wanted locking. So I'd have to figure out how to add something.
