NES cart collection shelving

[scott]

Oh nice. That's a really good price too.

I ended up buying one of those Big Lots shelves. It's MDF with a cheapo cardboard-ish backing, but works great. My collection isn't huge so I've got some DVDs, SNES carts, and other junk on there too.

I may need to eventually track something like this down, once I start on my Saturn collection

@ scott

Saturn cases are HUUUGE! Just like Sega CD's were.. I dunno what people were thinking back in the 90's lol

[scott]

@pceslayer Ya man, and yet you look at the Jpn versions and they are all in standard cd cases. ha

[jobocan]

I guess they wanted to stand out more in stores with their huge-ass cases?

[lady00rose]

I use egg crates but mine ones and they are about the depth of a nes game so spine out and stack the crates (also use this for snes, gamecube, PlayStation). Then for atari/sega/n64 cartridges I use wire wall mount shelving its the perfect size.

I did some more hunting on the NintendoAge forums and found this picture of some shelves from Big Lots:



Think I'll head to the store tomorrow and check one out. Here's the product page: http://www.biglots.com/browseItem/bookcases-towers-1/1129#

Oh and here's a link to the thread: http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=1&catid=5&threadid=33512

I bought one of these from biglots today to see how they look and it's simply fantastic!!! It holds 322 loose NES games.

They sell them in black and wood grain, so I got it in black.



I have to get another for the rest of my NES games

Hey pceslayer, how are you keeping your shelves so straight? Maybe it's the angle of your photo, but mine are bowing a bit in the center.

Mine don't bow... and if they do It isn't very noticeable.

Can you take a pic?

[bsmith]

Yep, I'll snap a photo over the weekend. Been meaning to anyway. It's not bowing really badly, but enough to notice.

I'll snap some from the front to compare as I actually have 2 of these shelves now.

[pceslayer]

Well I'll be damned... they do bow in the middle



And I re-purposed my first shelf for Sega Master System games...



I think the difference in my Turbografx-16 collection between this and the first photo I took is more amazing than the shelf itself. lol

img linking broken??

[scott]

BBcode is broken, I fixed your links and made them html code instead. :\
