Disc Mount Gallery

   

Game CD Storage

We made this poster for our game CDs. It uses a 40 x 27 in. plastic, poster frame modified with a metal backing to hold disc mounts. Easy to arrange CDs, convenient, and fun to look at. No more CDs strewn about the room. (PIC 1-1)

Safe and Secure

The Disc Mount holds the CD securely to the plastic rim without letting the back of the CD touch the surface. (PIC 1-3)

Removing Your CD

Metal Poster Magnet Board

This is a simplified version of the poster magnet board concept. Rather than using a poster between the acrylic face and metal, we enlarged, printed, and cut out a stylized icon on cardstock and taped it to the center of the metal sheet. The exposed metal gives it a cool, "tech" feel. (PIC 1-5)

White Poster Magnet Board

Yet another spin on the poster magnet board concept. If you don't have a decent Star Trek poster to put into the frame and prefer not to have the metal show, an inexpensive solution is colored butcher/Kraft paper. You can buy this from a local arts and crafts supply store for less than a cup of coffee. Simply cut it down to fit and tape it to the corners of the metal. We enlarged, printed, and cut out a stylized icon on cardstock to add some bling. Nice. (PIC 1-6)

Arrange as desired

The cool thing about Disc Mounts is nothing is permanent. You can add, remove, rearrange as desired. (PIC 1-7)

File Cabinet CD Storage

Since disc mounts are magnetic, any unused flat surface can make a nice place to store frequently used CDs. Metal file cabinets, for example, usually have plenty of exposed space for CDs. (PIC 1-8)

Quick Shelf Track Display

The disc mount was designed primarily to fix the scatter of CDs around the game area. We used a poster backed with metal, but this is a faster/cheaper solution. Buy some of those adjustable shelf tracks from your local hardware store (usually about $2-3 for 5ft), mount them to the wall, and place your disc mounts where you want them. The tracks are easy to cut and bend into various patterns/shapes to fit your imagination. (PIC 1-9)

Disc Mounts on Lamp

One of my favorite ways to display frequently used CDs. Each disc mount has a magnet with 2 lbs of pull, so they stick securely to metals poles. You can push CDs around the pole to reposition them with ease and they never fall off. This little setup makes a nice listening and reading area. (PIC 1-10)

Trumpet

We bought this image from istockphoto, cropped it, and blew it up to poster size. Used a 12 x 36 in. flexible, plastic, poster frame modified with a metal backing to hold the disc mounts. The hardboard backing was too flexible to lay flat, so, I glued a 1 x 2 x 24 in. piece of wood on the back to keep it from bending. Mounted it to wall with velcro and a small block of wood, stuck some disc mounts on it, and stored CDs on it. (PIC 1-11)

Wire Mesh Display

We found some inexpensive metal gutter guards at our local hardware store. Mounted it on the wall and stuck our disc mounts to them. Fast and simple to install, and makes an interesting way to display CDs. (PIC 1-12)

Plant

We bought this image from istockphoto and blew it up to poster size. Used a 24 x 36 in. plastic, poster frame modified with a metal backing to hold the disc mounts. I thought it looked nice by the stereo to hold our current favorite artists. (PIC 1-13)

Gamecube CD Bubbles

Gamecube CDs are tiny and looked neat as small bubbles on this poster. We bought this image from istockphoto, cropped it, and blew it up to poster size. Used a 12 x 36 in. flexible, plastic, poster frame modified with a metal backing to hold our disc mounts. The hardboard backing was too flexible to lay flat, so, I glued a 1 x 2 x 24 in. piece of wood on the back to keep it from bending. Mounted it to wall with velcro and a small block of wood. We keep it by the Gamecube console so the games are easy to access. (PIC 1-14)
