Clever

I thought this was sort of clever. We all have a little box filled with flash drives near our computer but I think this drawer is much cooler. It fits in an extra bay at the front of the computer where a dvd drive or other device might go and will hold many flash drives.

I put one in my old case about 8 years ago. Handiest thing ever!

Wow 8 years ago. I just saw it yesterday.

I can't even remember where I got it... maybe Cyberguys? I use to order some nifty things from them. I keep my desktop on the floor and I got a roller base from them for it that allows me to easily move it to clean underneath.


I built a gaming computer with my 14 year old grandson in Denver last week and to save a few bucks, we used my old Antec 900 case which is the one with that drawer in it. First thing he did when I showed it to him? Popped in about 4 flash drives! You can also keep CDs in there, but have to be careful not to scratch them.

Best thing I have found for cd's is a thing called a CD/DVD wallet. When music is your life and you have as many music cd's as I do you have to come up with something that makes sense to store them and still make it easy to find one and access it. A wallet does that.
By the way "TOTO" just came out with their new dvd called "TOTO-40 Tours Around the Sun". It is fantastic!!!
Not to be confused with their earlier cd album release called "TOTO-40 Trips Around the Sun"

I've had a couple of those music CD wallets... they are great and keep them nice and safe. I'm working on transferring my music CDs over to a small home server. I put the Plex media manager on my TV and can play them through the Bose speakers there or send them outside to the outdoor speakers by the pool.

I don't really know the difference between a computer and a server.

This is the one I got. I can access it from anywhere, not just here at home.

How many music CDs might that be? I have what I consider to be a fairly large collection myself, and I'm interested in knowing how many you have.

Uncle Reg- I probably have around 100 cd/s and since I don't have any movies but instead I have concert dvd's , I would say that's around another 50.
That is not my major collection though, I also collect old toy trains and that collection is huge. Over 1000 pieces.

100 CDs, I've got more than 100 Johnny Cash CDs. I have a searchable computerized inventory of my CD collection, which currently contains 7394 CDs with 107673 song titles. I also have a collection of over 400 music DVDs.

Whew Uncle Reg. That's a lot!

Oh, my! Uncle Reg, where do you store all your CD's?

Unc Reg is there a certain website where you found a lot of those 400 music dvd's? I know they can be hard to find and some are rare. I had to get some of mine from Japan because I just could not find them anywhere in the US.

I haven't bought any DVDs recently. I can only remember one in the last 3 years or so. For a long time I used to get most of my CDs and DVDs from a small mail order place in Kansas, but they closed up in Oct. of 2014. Since then I have bought most of my CDs on Amazon.com. If I was looking for a particular DVD, that's where I'd look first. It looks like it would be a good place to just browse too. If you go to Movies & TV, you can select Music Videos & Concerts under Genre, and it says there are over 30000. you can further filter the results by Music Genre.

Draclvr,

I missed your question. After I made my first post, I followed this thread, but I never got an email about your post or oldbroad's post. The only emails I got were for the last 2 posts by Geo. Looks like something's broke.

There have been some hiccups since GB was moved over to the HTTPS server. I suspect that's the problem.

I've never, ever received emails or notifications of posts. Is that something you set up in your profile? I don't care to receive them, just wondering as I've seen this mentioned before.

You can receive notifications of responses to posts by clicking on Thread Options at the top left of the thread and selecting "follow thread."

Oh, thanks Draclvr!
