I used the oscillating multifunction deal from Harbor Freight.  So easy: http://www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/oscillating-tools/oscillating-multifunction-power-tool-68861-8493.html

I bought a case of these and did them for awhile as well but wound up deciding I would sacrifice the aesthetic for more space, but that's just me.  I have a lot of them left and would be willing to sell them at cost + shipping if anyone is interested.

I hear you. I think I had almost 150 of these at one point and just decided that they were taking up way too much shelf space. I trimmed it down to about 80 for NES and SNES carts, the rest are loose in dust covers.

You guys are CRAZY! Those plastic cases, while nice, simply take up too much room.

Personally, I store all of my games in coffee cups and lace baggies:

After watching a video about the cover project, I got very excited about this idea. I bought a couple hundred of these cases a month or two ago. Got a dremel and a printer, lots of ink. After too many hours and far too many dollars ($150 for 200 cases shipped), I'm not sure if it was worth it. I think most of my displeasure is leveled at the poor quality of my cover prints though. The cases are great, but if you've got a lot of NES games you are in for many hours of work. I was somewhat surprised at the lack of covers available at TCP, though I'm sure that will change.

Anyway, here's a crappy pic:

Spent a few hours today working on this project.  I'm thinking about ordering another box.





Ah Goonies II, I love and hate that game...

Some covers are available in posts, instead of the sidebar.
Might try a Forum Search @ TCP.
