Replacement for Jewel Cases?

PsychoBrat asks: "I'm surrounded by jewel cases at work and at home, and although most of them are still holding together to some extent, a lot of them have either cracked fronts, broken hinges or snapped teeth. Slim cases generally annoy me because I can't tell them apart by looking at their spines, and wallets take too long to sort through. What do you use in place of the standard fragile jewel cases to keep all your discs organized?"

    Use CD cases for CDs, and jewel cases for jewels.

    Excuse me Mr. Moderator, but how can the first person to suggest the use of Amaray DVD cases for CDs be "Redundant?" Yeash.

    He could, but he's big into the retro-computing image. He's got a metric buttload of ancient hardware up and operational, and likes to be surrounded by Hollywood quantities of blinkenlights.

    I sometimes wonder what would happen to his house if someone sent him an email virus that caused all his computers to attempt to calculate the last digit of pi. Would his sound cards start singing "Daisy, Daisy"? Would some of the old boxes emit puffs of smoke and a few showers of sparks?

    Actually, I might suggest he install a flashpan with a few serial-port-ignited pyrotechnic charges, just to wake up the gullible non-geeky visitors. Tuck it all behind a CD-ROM faceplate designed to blow open on detonation, that sort of thing.

    "Instead of paper sleeves, use non-scratching Tyvek (the same stuff they put on houses):"

    Highly reccommended. My house has no scratches at all.
