robotnerd Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 considering today was a day off, and my old setup was getting packed to the gills, i decided to take the morning (and a little bit of the afternoon) and re-arrange my living room. so here's a photo of my new music storage setup. i know it doesn't look like it, but that's just over 300 records, and just over 600 cd's. oh, and 3 laserdiscs.

xfedaykinx Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 thems nice. whered you get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnerd Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 actually... i'm not even sure where they came from originally, about 2 years ago my office was re-arranging some stuff, and didn't have room for these anymore, and my bosses asked me if i wanted them, so i grabbed them. they're target-esque put together type stuff, ya know the type. but they seem to be nicer than most of those types of things. they originally had doors on one side of each of them. obviously they're not a great size for cd's... but it gets the job done.

brennan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 hmm you must be close, after my rough estimation i woulda said you owned 240 records. about 40 per square. i'da said 50 but none of your squares are actually full to the max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnerd Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 i've definately got over 300 records, i've got 305 cataloged in a spreadsheet, with probably 20 not cataloged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostapostle Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I like your setup. I'm in the process of mapping out a plan to better organize my records and cds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 man i want nice shelves and stuff to display my records. I dont have any space for the moment so they're in nice LP/7" boxes. Cardboard sadly, I should order the plastic ones from bagsunlimited... robotnerd, where are your 7"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnerd Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 i actually don't really have that many 7"'s. the few i have are on a different shelf, and there's probably a small stack somewhere at my parents house. i've got maybe 25-30, mostly east coast hardcore stuff from the mid-late 90's.

flood Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 which is why i keep my records in boxes on metal shelving units at the moment. You can't rely on that fiberboard furniture to support any real weight for extender periods of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrd Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 well in that photo the person had it up the wrong way the pieces that he has running vertically are meant to be horizontal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedaykinx Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 well in that photo the person had it up the wrong waythe pieces that he has running vertically are meant to be horizontal thats a good point. sounds about right. good eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnerd Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 i don't think that's the case, look at the far right piece, it's got the little plastic pieces for resting a horizontal shelf on. what is probably the issue is he didn't put the backing cardboard on the shelf. people don't realize this is an ESSENTIAL piece of putting those things together. it's the support for the whole structure that keeps it from falling over like that.

flood Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 yeah the cardboard backing provides all the rigidity of the structure, if its not on, shits not staying up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedaykinx Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 you may be right, at first glance i thought they were dowels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
