Bredrins.
I'm looking for ways to store my records. Being a student, I don't have much money or space. Does anyone have any great ideas?

edit: the right hand edge of the rug (pimpin, right?) is the end of my floorspace, so you can see every little helps

considering you'll get 9 new records for 70quid and a tall expedit can hold about 800, I think you'll agree this is money well spent.

Second hand record box? Charity shop?

Expedit does seem like the way to go, I'm just not 100% on how I'm going to make it fit in this little boxy room. I might spend a little bit more, get the 2x4 one, turn it on its side and put decks on that instead of the table I have now, or see if I can squeeze it under the table I already have.

Works (and looks) great.
