Almost all media racks are labeled DVD/CD/Bluray now, so any should do.

If you do insist on a Bluray only rack, there a few of them out there, but be aware that they do no fit some Bluray box sets nor do they fit Bluray Digibooks because they are too tall.

It is for that reason your probably better off getting a universal media rack with adjustable shelves that will fit ALL of your blurays.

We've had several threads on it if you want to do a search.

If you can, make your own.
You do it right, the look better, are stronger, cost less, and take up much less room.

I have thousands of CDs/DVDs/BDs and nearly all are on shelves attached to the walls.
Much better than the purpose-built racks you can buy.

Problem is when your collection becomes bigger and bigger. I started with basic floorstanding racks, then built in-wall bookcases. I ended up devoting a room, custom built with wall to wall bookcases. I have about 3000 dvd's. I also keep cd's and soon video games in the same room.

Now I'll be close to running out of room so I have a decision to make, either a bigger room or moving them to sleeves.

Or start selling the DVDs that you have Blu-ray/HD-DVDs of...

Or put your DVDs on a HDD and stream them to your HT in full quality. Think how much space that would save, and you wouldn't need useless boxes and plastics laying around.

I already have over 2.5 TB worth of movies I haven't watched on my HDD and most of my DVD's have been converted to slim cases. Problem is I would just stop and stream most of my movies, but friends and family borrow movies and love the DVD room. They yell at me when I tell them I'm going to stop. Maybe I'll start renting for a fee.

I really like my DiscSox sleeves. The downside is that a full conversion of a large existing collection is pretty expensive in both time and money. Bulk discounts help but I still remember having to work up the nerve to pull the trigger on that first big order.

Check out Boltz.com. They have expandable racks as your collection gets bigger.
