while waiting on my friend to pick me up.
as well as about two thousand discs.
Will it be closed storage? This is asked strictly with the WAF in mind.
Tough question.
Easy answer:
I plan for three shallow, sliding drawers across the bottom, spanning the entire width, which will hold about one thousand discs, faced spine upward, then two wood shelves width-wise which will hold electronics, including silent fans, then three tiers of open, smoked glass shelves to be used for new and "constant" disc storage, each glass shelf will be set with simple LED fixtures for visibility. (above waist level, now) The sides will both be closed as well by more decorative doors. The next area will be more shallow, matching the led screen and the sides will be for more current, quick access or fading interest movies. The entire top row will be open, yet closed with a kind of "speaker grille cloth" looking material on sliding doors and set to CD height, approximately nine feet wide, again, LED fixtures for either visibility or mood lighting. Expecting about four hundred discs to fit in the upper shelves, well above eye level.
Could be more CDs, but the center will also house my "center channel" speaker, directly above the screen.
The key is that it will be a permanent part of the entire north wall of our entertainment area, finished to be a part of the wall in the colors my wife has chosen for the wood parts of the house. It will tak me half of the summer to complete, properly.
