Just a heads up, these might work well for video game storage

Think it through. A decent expandable DIY setup of shelves takes about 5 minutes to figure out. Use bricks and plywood. Use threaded rods and plywood. Use chains+hooks and plywood. There are a hundred ways you could do it cheaply and easily that leave room to add pieces.

Howard_Casto:
Listen....... I just wanted to share a deal in case anyone else might find it useful. I won't make that mistake again, sorry.

dkersten:
Hey, I thought you made a good case for why to use them. Makes perfect sense to me once you mentioned cheap expandability.

Howard_Casto:
Well I appreciate it man. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad or anything, it's just I was up in the middle of the night again, I saw those things and thought "hey maybe the guys might find this useful". I wasn't really prepared to defend the thing as the best solution ever since it's super cheap..... that was kind of the point.

Unfortunately they sold out really fast and are now back at retail. They aren't nearly as appealing at the higher price imho.

For me anyway, I'm thinking that I'll make a really nice base by hand... to store cords and large controllers and ect and make it so that I can sit something more modular on top of it. I recently was given a dovetail jig for my router. I kind of want to make some drawers now just to see if I can do it.

I have a love/hate relationship with my dovetail jig.. I upgraded a while back to a really beefy Porter Cable model and I love the results when you get the setup right, but it is inevitable that I will get one piece backwards when making the cuts and then when I go to assemble it I get frustrated when it doesn't work, lol. And it gets messy in a hurry. And if you slip and lift the router while in the jig, watch out because that bit will eat through aluminum, plastic, and even steel in a HURRY. I have a nice little notch in one of the aluminum teeth in my jig from the very first time I was using it... Take the time to get the depth of your bit adjusted perfectly or assembly will not go well.
