Build them yourself.

I made those for about £40. Just some beach look mdf, 2 metal bracket fixings, and 8 brackets. Dead easy, and best of all, it's customizable, so you can add more shelves or remove shelves as and when you need them.

Some great ideas. IKEA, GOODWILL and BUILD ONE.

Here's another custom idea shelf idea for those hard to find game cart shelves. I cut Laminate Wood Flooring material which is thin and space saving to the width of N64 carts standing with contacts down. Finish Nail Gunned 1 ½" slats cut to just a little taller then the cart. Alphabetical order five layers high, easy to pull a particular cart without going thru a plastic storage box.

This one also caught my eye. A shoe rack!

Here's a neat cubby system I told you guys about long ago. I've got two of these for controllers. 20 bucks each at Target.

Might want to check big lots. They have a furniture section there is pretty good and cheap. I am using the computer desk from there right now.

Yeah, I picked up a medium size DVD/CD shelf from Wal Mart for some game storage and it worked out very nicely.

It was only $30 I think. I was surprised how well it all fit.

Like Niode said, I personally use wall shelving for all of my stuff. I keep it pretty organized. I have the entire wall covered in them and I can use the top shelves more for display. If your TV is next to them, you can even set consoles on them.

It's very customizable. I would recommend getting the dual clip kind because they are more durable. Also, make sure you screw them into the stud, obviously

I get most of my furniture from the big trash day in the rich neighborhoods. They throw out some nice shit.
