If you guys using that cd rack from Big Lots put on the back piece you could just tack a few nails across the back along the shelves. That should fix the bowing issue. I know that backing stuff isn't that strong but as long as you have say, 4 nails across each shelve the weight distribution should be enough to keep them from bowing/the nails ripping out.

The bowing issue is one reason why I went with the shelving I did.

Thought about doing that, but yes the weak backing board made me weary. I'll give it a shot on one of the shelves and see how it goes.

Cool. Let me know how it goes. I was going to pick one up to store DVDs.

I must be OCD, but if I did that shelving idea for my consoles, I'd have to paint the rail as close to the wall color as possible. ha

Oh, I'm pretty OCD about that stuff too. If I wasn't going for all black shelving it would have probably required some paint.

If that doesn't work, you might have to make some strips of thin wood and nail through that. But I think going through the backer should suffice.
