Store twice as many CDs in the same space.

If you're one of those that likes the cover and back art (and printed lyrics) that comes with CDs, but your CDs are overtaking the space you gave them, then it's time to take some action!
Short of expanding their space, there's a way to make said space hold twice as many CDs. The solution is as simple as swapping out the CD trays with ones that can hold 2 CDs.
Beneath the box in the image, there's a 4-drawer CD Chest with 384-CDs-in-single-cases capacity. It's larger then said box. My CD collection has clearly outgrown it. Until now.

Step 1: What you need.

The only thing you need to buy, are double CD trays.
You can buy these at SleeveCity.
I ordered a 100-Pack of 2-CD Smart Tray All Clear for $35.30 USD.
$28.00 + $7.30 for least expensive shipping option.
This covered about 1/3 of my collection. I'll get a 300-pack later and do the rest, and post the results.
