That's some collection. Are the blue lights part of the cabinets? Or a custom add-on? If custom, where did you get them?

Thanks. Its a custom add-on. I drilled a hole into the top of the cabinets directly behind the center support so the hole wasn't visible when looking at or in the cabinet. I then fished the LED cord through the hole and attached the LEDs to the inside top of the cabinet with adhesive. The wires run behind the LEDs so none of the wiring is visible.

The LEDs are IKEA's dioder multi-color LED strips. I paid $30 for mine which includes 4 strips that can be connected separately or connected together. 2 strips per cabinet in my case. The design has changed a bit since I got mine but its the same general concept. Listed as $49.99 right now on IKEA's site but they do go one sale from time to time.

Cool. Thanks. Still working on ideas for a TRON setup and those lights look perfect.

Me too. I find Blu-ray.com's interface to be a bit more streamlined and more visually appealing. Both work well though.

Thankee. Been collecting since HD DVD and still have 3 HD DVD players and about 40 titles.

Also, I dig the strip lighting on your cabinets Hellboy.

Thanks Freon.

Got a bundle of HD DVDs in my collection as well. Mostly things that I can't get on BD or transfers on BD that were inferior to their HD DVD counterparts.
