cd storage

Looking for suggestions for storing cds. Currently use the horizontal standalone units but these tend to be a less than optimal solution - basically you have to slide out each cd or flip through at an inconvenient angle to see what it is. Does anyone have a different method of storage or any helpful suggestions? I would like to find a drawer unit (kind of like the old card catalogs that libraries had but with larger area drawers -or something similar. It should have a high capacity as possible - need to store somewhere between 1500 and 2000 so the fewer units the better.

Check out Boltz if you're not familiar with them:

They have it all over anything else commercially available IMO.

I agree on Boltz. They are scalable as well. Well made and very good customer service.

Why don't you build or have someone build what you want?

IMHO, the best place to store that many CDs is in a music server and keep the physical discs in sealed boxes in basement.

Here's exactly what you are looking for. Industrial strength, scalable, and you can put them on wheels. I recommend getting some better casters than Can Am offers or the Can-Am caddy though, because when these cabinets are full they are heavy.

Also be sure to secure the cabinet or use the hardware so that only one drawer can be opened at a time because if you open the top two drawers of a three drawer unit, for example, and it's not secured, the cabinet will tip over.
