Yeah, people tend to buy 2 or double the storage units at a time.
With thousands of disk, you would need to swap them out once in a while. The hotswap drive bay will make that a snap.
How about 2000 pounds? 20 4U storage. For $173K

Netflix put them in file cabinets in rows and rows of disk in sleeves. Each disk is barcode or numbered. Or you can alphabitcally them. You can do a google image search on on netflix to see the look of the cabinet.
I run an online dvd rental store at www.ehit.com. If you want to save money on making the boxes, you can have the boxes make out of cardboard to your size and dimension. The cost is really low. And then stock them into a sliding shelf or rack. This way I don't see any problem in store all your dvds in a room.
Help this will help!
