come on fella's am i the only one diving around here anymore???lol guess i gotta go down to the recruiter station and steal me some recruites....
Since the economy has tanked, I've been diving for food, more so, than cases in order to feed the little family. Been getting especially double bonus with picking the small larvae off certain delicacies. Makes a great etouffe. Burp! LOL

I don't like binders...........
They will end up scratching your discs. I used to use them for cds, and know from experience. Plus, I keep all my dvds in alphabetical order, so it's easy to find a particular one. It's hard finding a particular one, in a binder. Also, in a binder, if you try to put them in order, when you add a new one, you have to re-arrange every one after it. If you don't, they're not in order anymore. Binders are just way more trouble, than they are worth.
Hey Cincy..........just been hanging out. Haven't found any cases in our BB's dumpster, in a very long time. Looks like I'll have to start buying them again soon............running out. :o(

Yeah, I use binders. I'm using 200 count now and they seem too big. 100 was perfect. When I started this, I used a 32 binder, and quickly saw that 64 would be better-NOT- so 100 binder was used. From the beginning, I did make a word running table that list the movies as I did them by name-programs used-compress%-whether Adv-Analysis was used. Each movie was given a binder # and then a slot number 1-32 and now 200 on the discs. Every month I save an alphabetized version so I can keep track and find them easily.

Ebay those cases and make some extra $$$$ LOL!
Pepsi started another promotion,so their caps are orange or yellow. Also on their 12/24 pk cartons. I'm using them for free MP3 songs for the kiddies MP3 players, we got them for christmas.
5 caps = 1 mp3 download. 90 pts for a DVD.
Coke's still holding strong,but not many prizes to choose from.
Dr Pepper also got their promo for free dr pepper. I already fetched out 6 winners from the recycling dumpster this week.

i swear by binders, mine hold 240 discs each, i have 8 full now, can't imagine that many discs in boxes/on shelves. (have taught the kids to handle discs carefully so they never get damaged now, even when in binders). I only keep the kids collection of dvd's on shelves, then they don't have to mess about looking thru many binders just to watch something; as for me, these days i don't hardly even watch movies off the dvd's, i watch the AVI/or DVD movies off the actual PC, over the network on one or more old xboxes, got sick of wasting time looking for movies, now i just browse a few network shares and enjoy. Kinda makes it easier when your PC has 5x 500GB drives plus a few via external enclosures :)
(my dvds are definitely classed as 'backups' now) :)

I find it amusing how I can never seem to bag any dvd cases but I always seem to get some kind of apple product. Today I actually got a pair of apple pro speakers and a broken 4th gen 20gb ipod. It needs a new mobo but still mounts so I'll probably leave it as it is. I need a 7th sense now for dvd cases lol.

i'm a Western Digital fan, my 500's IDE's are WD5000AAKB, the SATA ones are WD5000AAKS. All are silent, fairly cool running, and take a fair while to fill up :) That said i need a couple more drives, only have 6 500GB SATA and 3 IDE. Just putting a 500GB in an xbox, have 2 USB2.0 enclosures that are crying out for 500GB drives, and a couple more enclosures that really should be hooked up;
not the kind of thing to find in dumpsters unfortunately

*Stares at his whimpy 80gb enclosure and 80gb laptop* I plan on building a computer but I'm waiting until usb 3.0 is released on a mobo with ddr3 ram. 3.0 is still in the prototype stage so I have to play the waiting game.

Thanks for the input creaks!! I've been wondering about the 500GB drives and it seems the WD drives are a little cheaper most of the time. ;) Good product and cheaper, can't go wrong there. ;) Yeh I think 21Q is the only person I know that gets computer goodies from the DUMPSTER. lol.
/me chuckles at creaks "need" to dig out plastic..... :D
Your made of money your are.....

XD I just look around for this kind of stuff. My school is the main contributor for the computers. Also, there are a lot of garbage days around my neighborhood. So when I see something I like I pick it up. Most of my stuff/crap as others say, is from either the trash or from people I know. Just gotta know the right people ;)
