Re: Which Custom Game Cases Would You Like?
Here are requested pics for game types my local store had.
These are for reference only and show how many and how you can store these carts in the box. This is a PS1 box design, just for reference.
Sorry for the low res pictures, I was using my phone to take them, its not the best but this helps show what it might do for you. I also apologize for the hodgepog of games in there, I was in a hurry. he closed at 6 i got there at 5. Your collection will obviously look much better in them than these used carts.

Re: Which Custom Game Cases Would You Like?
You could reduce the image size and post the pics directly here as in my earlier reply. Pics up front draws more interest. Maybe add the one I reduced to your First page Original Post?
The custom boxes are beautiful with your professional labels. I think game carts seem to be the most needed due to odd sizes. A custom sized box would be more desirable. Small carts such as Gameboy especially. A pain to dig thru a pile to find a specific game. The NES carts are on the right track since they fit similar to Jewel cases with the label up. N64 needs a custom smaller box, too much space wasted.
An idea, maybe you could custom build into your design.
For the Game Carts I built wood shelves that are cut to size matching the width and height of my N64 carts stored contacts down. Five shelves tall. Laminated Wood flooring makes great space saving lightweight thin shelving material. You could take that same principle and build boxes the same way, custom sized.
Gameboy carts a real pain, A Gamestop Golfball display seems the best way. Maybe along the same lines with trays in your box?
Hope this helps.

Re: Which Custom Game Cases Would You Like?
I don't know the forum code in order to list pictures.
These are all i got right now. Like I've said before I don't make the boxes, I buy them, make the artwork, cut the designs at work, and do the application.
I could search for other boxes but this is as good as it gets for now.
I think that it works nice for:
Xbox
Xbox 360
PS1
PS2
PS3
Gamecube
Sega Genesis
Sega Dreamcast
PSP
DS
Nes
Snes

How soon will he be able to ship if anyone was to place an order within the next few weeks?
What's the optimal game case storage capacity for each system? I noticed that PS2 can go up to eight (which is enough for my top games!), but what about traditional CD jewel cases?

Just scroll down below the EDIT Box and add a JPG with the Choose File Button. There is a file size limit. You can also add a caption to your pic.Xionraserei1 wrote:I don't know the forum code in order to list pictures.
As a courtesy you want to keep the pic smaller then the normal width of the reply screen size. Large pics stretch the text box out, a pain to read. I keep JPGs at 700 wide or less.
If you have OSX, use iPhoto. Import then export as JPG and set the width at 700 or less.
For PC there is Infraview, a great freeware pic utility.

Other option a pic sharing site, a mixed blessing at times.
A photo sharing site is a great way to stage your Photo.
Crappy when you get the error and can't retrieve your photo.
As an example, posted the pic again below, with comments.

Shown 8 in photo, PS2 Box, really ANY dvd case box will hold 10 games
CD games Can fit like 19 Singles if you position correctly I think obviously less with double disc. But 10 for DVD case games. Carts are shown in pics

Re: Which Custom Game Cases Would You Like?
I desperately need a cool box in which I can store all my NES cartridges. It's a travesty keeping the best games ever made in a cardboard box on my floor.
