I need something to store DVDs in. I'd like to get rid of all of my DVD cases, and have all the discs consolidated into a single container in my TV cabinet. A DVD binder would be practical, but I'd like something that looks a bit more... furniture-y. Something along the lines of a storage box or a nice container to fit individual discs into. I figure we've got about a hundred discs. Any suggestions?

I really like the DiscSox brand. They're really nice imo

Suggested this earlier. Most restaurants can do this if they have a fountain machine that spits out carbonated water or a bar gun, and 9 times out of 10 they don't charge you for it.

Somebody please recommend a clipper/razor/trimmer for shaving my nutsack. I looked at the Wahl peanut but it doesn't seem to have a body hair attachment. I've been using some cheap Quattro thing but don't feel like replacing any more batteries, would prefer something that plugs in or recharges.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm seeing almost nothing but 5-star reviews, but I'm still not sure how suitable it is for what I want. I'd have to use it with no guides, and from what I've read it isn't easy to clean out.

I bought that a few months ago, and it does exactly that. It even passes through HDMI CEC assuming both devices support that so that it'll turn your TV on when you turn the device on such as blu-ray player, etc.

The top and bottom have regular style buzzers. If you get some of that soft skin to fold into the buzzer, you will be in a world of hurt.

If you're looking for shelves, I also recommend the Ikea Expedit line of shelving units. They're sturdy and cheap, though kind of a pain in the rear end to build. The internal dimensions of an Expedit cube are roughly 13"x13"x15" HxWxD, which just about perfectly fits vinyl albums, giving you about 3/4" room above them for you to get your fingers on them.

Or are you looking for something more along the lines of permanent closed storage, like a DJ case?

So, I'm finally obtaining a new computer and need some decent speaker's to go with it, Problem is I only have limited space so a 2.0 system would be fine (I'd consider 2.1 if the speakers are good enough).

I'm mostly going to be using the computer for listening to music(punk,metal,classic rock), some minor recording and playback of guitar, and video editing, I'd be happy to spend anything up to around £60 and would prefer it if they are available from amazon.co.uk.

any ideas Goons?

This is double your budget (but still considered "cheap") but the Audyssey speakers are generall considered the best budget speakers for computers:

I'm looking for a recommendation for a wireless webcam. Preferably pretty low-cost, so it doesn't need to be super high resolution or anything. I'll be out of the house a lot more soon and would like to be able to check on my dumb bird while I'm away, but don't have a place near his cage to set up a computer.

How far away is your computer from his cage? I run a long usb cable that connects to my webcam upstairs.

Nah, what jojoinnit said. I'm standing at work 8+ hours a day now, so I'm looking for a decent anti fatigue mat instead of the cheapo one I'm using from Home Depot right now.
