I was grabbing a job application at a local Subway Sandwich chain and on my way out, I noticed a box full of DVD cases outside of the Blockbuster store right next door. (For those of you that are outside the US/may not know...Blockbuster is a large video-game and DVD rental chain store).
I realized that many people pay money for standard, blank amaray cases. I walked inside and asked what the deal was.
They had just gotten a shipment of brand new DVD's into the store, and since they place the DVD's into special Blockbuster cases that the cashier unlocks, they cant do anything with the factory cases. Therefore, they were placed outside ready to go right into the dumpster.
I asked if I could please have them, and they gave them to me FREE OF CHARGE!
I have a huge box now filled with both 1 and 2 disc cases. Some green ones too, which must have come from an x-box game or something.
So basically, go check out some of your local rental stores and ask what they do with their cases. Who knows, you might get lucky like I did.
Now I have a place to put all these awesome fan projects/edits!!!
