  Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do?
I have a small Cd collection of about 200 discs. It is already difficult to find a way to find a rack to store them in and I do not even have the >1000 disc collections that some of you have. So I ask you, how do you all store these large CD collections and as an extra bonus question how do you arrange them?

O.K., here's what I built to hold my CD collection:
6" wide X 48" long pre-finished shelving (white or wood)
3/8" X 72" threaded steel rod, nuts and washers to fit
the rod. Simply measure and drill holes in all four
corners of each shelf (use a square to make sure all holes are the same distance from the edges!) Screw the thing
together. You can adjust the distance of the shelves to
fit whatever you want to hold. I use 3/8" connectors on
the bottom of the steel rod to level the unit. I have
built component racks using the same method and it works
pretty well! I usually paint the steel rod flat black if
I use wood shelves or white to match white shelves.
I think my total investment in the CD rack is about
$25-$30.
