wondered what people generally use for racking, shelves, boxes etc. other than the usual DJ cases/cd folders. Can you recommend any companies that specialise in practical/space saving units/racks/boxes? Am about to move and really need to think about how I'm going to properly store the 1500-odd CDs, and similar number of vinyl other than the temporary Ikea boxes they're currently in (bleugh!). cheers. |

Cant help you, but I used to live in Bow - fairfield Road. Nice place, Bow. Have you tried Ikea? |

Ikea have some ok-ish bookcase/cd case units like the "Billy" range which I may resort to if nothing else turns up, but they don't seem to cater for vinyl... fairfield road - very nice ;-) v.expensive! |

Fairfield Rd - expensive? Really? It was quite a while ago when I lived there - probably 7 or 8 years ago and it was just full of students then.. Must have gone up in the world.. Sorry dont mean to hijack your topic. Just remembered a friend of mine - (sort of a neighbour of yours in Whitechapel actually) was banging on about these fantastic cool looking vinyl storage boxes he got from company called spider. Dont know if that is what you are looking for, do a google search and see what you think... |

cheers - looks like it could be these guys: http://www.spider-engineering.co.uk however, they now appear only to specialise in heavy duty equipment cases. will give them a bell tomorrow just in case. |

If you're near an Argos, they've got these CD racks that are about 400x400mm square (in plan), about 1.5m high, and is divided down the middle so you can stack CDs on both sides and it swivels too! You can get nearly 300 CDs on one, and they take up very little space, I've got a few of 'em... |

MFI (or DoItAll or whatever they're called these days) used to do a nice little set of tall, thin black CD shelves, but they stopped making them. So I made my own. I ordered a huge pile of ContiBoard planks from DoItAll, and, with the cunning employment of a saw, drill, screws, tape-measure, muscle and one of those things to give you a square edge, created and assembled 4 shelf units 62cm by 180cm. You can see two and-a-bit shelves in where I used my dad's video camera as a stills camera. |
