You could also sell some of the DVD's you don't watch on eBay, and get some quick cash, or better yet, take a big CD case, and put all your DVD's in there, then putting the cases in large boxes and those boxes in a storage area, such as your basement. Those CD cases cost little compared to a new shelf or the shear amount of ink you'd need to print all these new covers and purchase all the slim packs.

I've searched online in the hope that I could just download Hi-Res custom covers for the thinpak cases, but the sites I found required payment before you can download anything. So, I was wondering would it be at all possible to:
1). Scan in the covers that I already have and edit the size of the spine? Or
2). Run the scanned covers through a program like CoverXP and resize the regular cover to fit the thinpak, again only shrinking the spine and leaving the back & front detail intact?
Are either of these possible? I hope I'm making sense with all this.
Thanks in advance (I just hope someone knows what I'm on about and can help me).

I have no more shelf space. I currently have one alcove filled from top to bottom with ten, four foot shelves. So buying more really isn't an option unfortunately. I have stripped out the discs I don't want, but now that itself is rather difficult too as I can't think of anymore that I don't want. I considered also putting the discs in one big case, but I'm a geek and like them on show. Ink really doesn't cost much. I have the Canon IP4000 and while it takes six cartridges I can get those for really cheap.. Paper is also cheap too. Slimline cases I can get 200 for £17.99 inc. delivery, with further discounts if I need a larger size.
Trust me, I've weighed up each thing you've pointed out, and slimlines for me are the way to go. Although, the huge DVD case is still rather appealing.
