Just wondering how many people have converted to thin pack and how they like it. Is it not hard to read the spine? I have been thinking about it for space reasons.

I have thought about it, but haven't for the very reason you mention about not being able to read the spines.

NO! I like the standards better for display! also space not an issue if you've got a good storage system (i can store 200 per unit / 1.2m x1m / stackable-modular)

I hate thinpaks with a passion! I just bought the karate kid collection and they are thinpak... YUCK I cant wait till this one dude finishes his multi disc sized case so I can replace the three thinpaks with 1 case. When I do im gona stomp on the thinpaks, maybe melt them even... lol

200 per unit? damn, now that's a DVD collection!

Agreed: I would be afraid it would be too hard to read the spine. I want to be able to read the spines from a few feet away. I'm about to break 600 soon, so we'll see if my mind changes as I near 1000.

Well all I have to say , to each their own - personally Ill let this picture speak 1,001 words....



and thats only over 60 or so DVDs - imagine it across the 600-700+ that alot of you claim to have

my space is terrily limited for movies - so everything that can possibly go into a slimmer more consolidated case, does so 3 LOTR TE's now ina NP6, FROM the EARTH To the MOON, NP4 , there are no fatty alpha cases for any of my TV series, all NP slims, if its a 2 disc job, then i keep it in a double capacity standard single or in a thinpak double - I have over 100 standard single cases that now sit in a box - empty - replaced by one slimmer case or another - I have reclaimed at least 1/3 of my shelf space due to thinpaks

I have to get a littel closer to read the spines, but hey - i got not problems sitting and staring at my covers anyways

think about it - do you really need a 1/2" thick case to hold a 2mm thin disc? and reading teh spines is not an issue - why do you nee dto be a few feet away when you need to be within arms reach to take it off the shelf?

and Dae, dont melt them, dont destroy them, dont toss em out a window - if you hate hem that much ILL take them - im always looking for Thins

I'm also in the middle of converting to thinpaks due to limited space. I use single, double, NP4 or NP6. The space savings is great. Some of my collections are not being converted since I don't think they would look good in thinpaks (nausicaa's Hitchcock and Jupiter's SW for example), but everything else will be eventually. I've found that I have had the spine design sometimes influence which cover I use, since not all would look good on a thinpak.

Nice..I think I am try it
