bcprs1 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Does anyone know where I can find a decent game storage rack/unit that will hold 15+ games? Take a look on ebay. There are all different types of storage caes that show up. They usually go for only $5-$10 depending on how many games they hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Well some people make there own, but Atari has a few that hold loose carts and there manuals. The first unit hold 8 carts, the second one holds 14 carts. Here are some of the ones I have and you can get them off of ebay or places like www.worldofatari.com and a few others.

Susuwatari Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 There are also modular 4 cart storeage tyhat can be locked together to build a larger structure. I've been looking for some more MusicMate brand 4 cart holder units. I just want enough to hold all CV and 7800 games I got and some more. 2600 will have its own shelf as I got probably 500 of them (300 unique games and there's 200 more dupes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.FoodMonster Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 <--- to busy drooling at the mini-arcade collection to care about any kind of shelving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 8 bucks US? You're getting ripped off! A 1"x8"x8' can be bought for a few bucks and when you cut them down to 2x 3" strips, you can build a shelf. My calculation for a 26"x 5'8" shelf (I have sloped ceiling in my room and 5'10" the lowest point) and theoriclally I can cram in a total of 700 2600 sized carts. I don't know what the final cost could be since I already got nails and scrap peg board for the back. Of course extra drawers could be nice if they don't rot from the moisture in the basement. I wish I could waterproof the basement but getting that done to a 110 year old basement would be a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Small Tint Stacking Drawer for $5.99 from The Container Store. I've now got 7 of them. 2 hold controllers, the rest hold cartridges. Each drawer can hold 36 cartridges. They stack for easy storage and the Atari fits perfectly in the indentation on the topmost drawer. Only problem I've found is with the M-Network cartridges - they're too tall to fit the drawer, so I just lay them down in the backmost row.

KaineMaxwell Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I'm wondering where one can obtain those small plastic bags alot of other member shere store their Atari carts in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 The AA store was selling some for awhile, I think they ran out thou. They came from Bags Unlimited, I think back before the AA store was here, Al use to have a site up called Austin Video Games, he had a neat little collection tips page setup then, and the bags were a part of it back then! I got a catalog back then but never ordered anything from them, just recently bought some when I picked up some homebrews from the AA store. But the last couple times I've ordered or looked to place an order they still weren't in stock. As far as shelves go, you could always build one!
