But I'm not sure it's theologically valid to be storing items that
have already been in your cabinet in the same location as these!

Where did he wait? These are the important questions here.)

Another issue is matching the best recordings with the most beautiful
jewel cases (with the fewest scratches). That's quite a task, if you
have many hundreds of CDs and you accidentally damage the jewel case of
one of your very best CDs.

And I find that this British company only sells the
17 lit[er]s in America! Ideal for two rows of
DVD cases, works well with three columns of CDs,
with some room to spare.

By the way, sometimes it seems there is *less* metric
in the USA than last century. Needing a metric ruler,
anything, I nearly left a hardware store empty handed
before a clerk chased me out to the parking carrying
a metric metal tape measure.

I have to say "17L" rather than 17 liter to make
myself understood in stores because there are
circles saying 17L on the boxes.
