Clean and simple. Nice setup!  I'm sure it makes finding what you want to play really easy too. 

I'd love to get all my games into one, single shelving system, instead of being spread around on a bunch of different shelves :/

Hey there! I would like to know what you think of these ?

http://www.discatonce.se/se/art/dvd-fodral-8-skivor-svart-50-pack.php

As you said, UGC are hard to come by in europe... Not sure if these are the same as the ones you linked earlier, but do you think they would work ?

Intended for Pal snes, Ntsc snes, nes, n64 carts.

Look like the same I use for my NESgames.
For N64 and SNES gmes I prefer ones with manual holders, but those are more expensive.

Quess I'll too have to visit sweden and pick those up as they are cheaper than the ones I use.
Cruises from Finland are cheap.

Haha yeah so I heard...
Anyway I got the dimensions from the sites manager and they are as following:

Height 19 cm
Width 13,5 cm
Depth 2,6 cm

Those are the "outer" measures of the box.

Would they fit for UGC cover standards ?

Height is standart DVD, so it's 5 mm too tall.
That really doesn't matter that much, either stretch the height 5mm, or leave 5mm white stripe to the bottom (like I do) or leave to cover just as it is (the difference is 2.5mm on top and bottom, and it's not that noticeable).

The cases I use have 27.5mm spine, but actually the 26mm spine might be better.

------------------------------------

Oh and just noticed you PM, hope it doesn't matter that I answer publicly:

Cases are bit larger that UGCs, so the big NES, SNES and N64 (and Jaguar) manuals fit perfectly, UGC have trouble with them.

Why I use DVD cases instead of VHS cases, there are 2 reasons:
1: VHS cases too had trouble fitting the manuals (+ some DVD cases have holders for the manuals).
2: The match the other DVD game cases
3: DVD cases were easier to come by.
4: DVD cases were cheaper.

Later I figured one more:

5: DVD cases are found up to 36mm (or was even 48mm) thick, so if you're having trouble with fitting game + thick manual or specific game (NEO GEO games ?) , you can always buy thicker case.

And yes they fit NES, SNES and N64 games, as well as Super Gameboy, Jaguar games.
The thicker ones can fit Pro Action Replays and such also.

And sure I can take photo of the inside, but it's just like any DVD case, but thicker and has the disc holder also inside the front cover.
Currently I'm not using anything to hold the games in place.
