Just curious what everyone uses as far as storing their UGC'd games. IKEA? Whatever you already have?

Ideally looking for ideas for something that doesn't have a lot of wasted vertical space. The IKEA stuff I've seen (Expedit, Billy), have quite a bit of that... Though maybe I have yet to stumble upon the right product line.

If you buy extra shelves for the billy there is no wasted space issue.

This. A lot of the guys on cheap ass gamer use the Billy and really like them. Seems like one of the better affordable solutions.
Brentnauer:
I saw the same comment elsewhere, but looking at them online there was a significant amount of wasted vertical space in the pictures I saw.

I didn't know about the additional shelving you could get for it; awesome :)

I bought this earlier this year and I'm pretty happy with it:

Also have matching floating wall mounted shelf and I plan on buying another smaller one in the same line to keep the room all matchy matchy.  They don't look cheap in person and with adjustable shelves there is little wasted space.
MaSHoe:
The Ikea Billy shelves are good, especially since you can purchase extra shelves online. I have the Besta Shelf unit http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50253896/#/50102138 from Ikea that I have yet to put together, maybe this weekend :D, but I looks very good for what I need.
scarmullet:
I use tracks and untreated lumber (Games are not that heavy, don't need treated stuff), and it works fine and its pretty cost effective for the amount you can store with a long piece of wood that is 6 inches wide and 1 inch thick.

Something that is cost effective as well is a call back to the 60s, Cinder blocks and lumber. Just place a piece of wood on the ground, place cinderblocks at regular increments (it works well if you can get wood that fits in the groove of the cinder block), and repeat for every shelf you need.

Building a proper bookcase can also work well if you are interested in carpentry just a touch, and they are simple to build if you don't want to get fancy with adjustable shelves.
