Hey, I am looking for a storage solution to store a large collection of cd/dvd discs. Around 1500 discs total. I want to be able to easily reorganize it as I add more discs to it. At first, I thought about using case logic 320 or similar size case. This would work for storage but I would need something that can re-organizable pages to keep things alphabetized.

Then I came across a storage case from supermediastore.

These come in different sizes such as 200, 390, 600, 720, and 1000. I was think about getting a couple of these. I tried searching for something similar to this from a different manufacturer or company so I can compare quality and price but could not find anything. I like the idea of having a storage box because it seems easier to be able to look through and find what I want. Also has an index for a list. (This might become a problem when I add more discs in later).

Does anyone know where I can find a similar product or is this a good product for my needs.

Right now, I have the discs stored in 100 pack spindles (the ones that come with blank discs). I have 15 of these spindles and was looking for a better (better looking at least) way to organize and store. It is actually pretty easy to organize using spindles because when i add more discs, I usually add all new discs to a new spindle until it gets full then alphabetize and put the discs into the correct order in the other spindles. For example, spindle 1 is #-a, spindle 2 is a-d, and so on.

Have you thought about the three ring binder pages that have the slots for CD/DVDs. If you add discs then you just add a new sheet and gradually shift discs around to make up the room. Any other type of static sollution you would have a lot of shifting around to add discs into the collection.
