Greetings!
For storage after ripping, I use three DJ cases and archive sleeves from
Univenture. They do a lot of the CD jackets and packing material for large companies, and their cases are nice and roomy - about the size of a large suitcase.
I removed the artwork / booklets, put them into the archive sleeve with the disc, and dropped them in the case. This way, I have them (relatively) portable, secured in a very small space. Jewel Boxes I tossed for recycling. (Someone drove by in the dead of night and took more than 2/3rds of the jewel cases - I don't know if they thought there were CDs in them or not, but they were gone!!!)
