   You mentioned Jewel cases, have you printed side bars or something so   
   you can read what they are?  Also, would you be interested in selling   
   your cases?  ;)

   Self explanatory, but I've seen some really awesome spiral Jewel case   
   holders which can stack all the way to the ceiling.  I'd do this if I   
   didn't have mine shelved already.

         Do you want to display them cart only or in box?  Standard   
   bookshelves you can buy at Walmart fairly cheaply are 28.5 inches wide   
   and 68.75 inches tall and come with five shelves which are .75 inches   
   wide each (so subtract .75 inches for each shelf).  With the boxes you   
   can add still add two shelves.  If you have boxes and cart only, you can   
   add three shelves with one shelf having a little less space than the   
   others.  Doing this is simple, just go to Lowes and buy pine boards that   
   are one inch thick and whatever length is cheapest to get the number of   
   28.5 inch sections you need.  Then just buy little screws and L brackets   
   to add the shelves, you might need to use these for one of the existing   
   shelves for your measurements to add up to 7 or 8 shelves.   
         So, you can put 25 Genesis/32X boxes on one shelf and have a   
   little room left over for whatever.  That means that you need 13   
   shelves, or two bookcases with 7 shelves each (if all 322 have boxes,   
   otherwise you can add the 8th shelf to each bookcase and have tons of   
   space for carts too).  This requires only five feet of wall space and   
   allows you to display all of your games (take that hackerz).
