those look like Blockbuster wall units after they ditched the yellow and blue style.

Very nice! Does the extra headroom on the shelves allow for longbox games like the Saturn to fit?

Good question.  I will check tonight, but it seems like it most certainly would.  Saturn long box cases aren't that much taller than DVD.  However, I don't think it's enough room for 3DO long boxes.

Also, the shelves are fixed, so you can't make them taller or shorter for CD based games (but that makes sense based on the design).  

Also, shelf number 3 is in my truck bed right now.

Those shelves were made for those games! Perfect!

A few pickups.  Each longbox game was $10 CAD, and he threw in soviet strike, as it needs resurfacing.

Few items this month.

GameStop had a few items.  Hatsune Miku was $7, P&D was $11ish, and Tekken was $15



Limited Run Games satisfying the Shmup fans is a ways a plus.  (if anyone got the PS4 copy I am willing to buy/ trade for something.)

 I believe I'll have an extra (when they eventually arrive)

Keep me in mind if you want.

Mine also arrived yesterday.  If you look at the picture of my new shelf, there is a empty space in the SNES games.  I left that there knowing that I would be adding a new case later that night.

Thanks again Banisher.

I picked up some older rental store shelves yesterday for super cheap.  These shelves had already changed hands once.  The current owner was renting movies out of her tanning salon and decided to get out of that business, so she was selling the movies and shelves. I'm pretty sure she had acquired them from a previous rental store that had gone out of business.  If everything goes well, I'm going to pickup one more today.  Sorry for the bad lighting and the pile of stuff that's in the way.  We are currently working on a basement project that is going to make the room look much better (including new lighting), but it's still a work in process.  The timing for getting these shelves is poor because I'm trying not to bring in new stuff until the project is complete, but I couldn't pass up on the deal.  The shelves are about 4 feet long, but each shelf rests on the backer board which rests on the next shelf below it, so that support should help prevent bowing.  These shelves are pretty old and they haven't started bowing yet, so I think they will hold up quite well. 

Those shelves look great, nice! I'm looking for some nice shelving too, might need a place bigger than my one bedroom apartment first lol.

Saturn, Sega CD & PS1 long boxes are less than an inch taller than a standard DVD style case, so it looks like they will fit quite easily.

Of course!

Saturn, Sega CD, and PS1 long boxes all fit just fine.

That is absolutely awesome! Glad to hear you were able to pick them up. Very lucky pickup!

[TDIRunner]

I was able to get the 3rd shelf home yesterday, but I couldn't get it into the basement until tonight.  I've practically built a wall in my basement with these things at 12' wide by 7' tall.

If I could fine one more I could get my entire collection up onto these things.  It actually be awesome to fine two more to also include all of my movies as well.

White shelves look nicer than black for some reason. Setup looks bright and happy.
