Hello, as many here have I purchased the sleeved cases found HERE (http://www.mediashelving.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=W&Product_Code=USCG&Category_Code=VHS)
Some use complete game art to fill the sleeved area but I don’t really need to do this as I have my stuff stacked as follows:

Using the box scans found HERE (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cat_id=8)
After many hours in Photoshop, I came up with this (sample page):

The “end-cap” insert, this is a sheet that will print on a standard 8”x11” piece of paper. I wanted something that can be printed at home on a home quality printer, not something you have to spend massive bucks on like the Neo Geo MVS Shock Box inserts I have.
I have 25 finished so far. The scans found on The Cover Project although complete are often either damaged, poorly scanned or a European cover. Most require quite a bit of time to resize and to rework. The original scans have off colors, poorly scanned logos or damaged scans, I’ve had to clean many of them up quite a bit. I’ve also taken a few liberties in the name of consistency and quality but the outcome is great. I’d like to start a database of the “end-cap” inserts but I need more game box scans (mostly of the side of the box, not the front. Any help would be great and for a few bucks I’d be glad to send out CD’s with these on them for anyone who has these cases and wants the artwork.) I currently have them saved in high-res Photoshop format so a single sheet is about 6Mb on disk, thus me not wanting to email them.
Finished cases:

I will also be doing this for other games that fit in these cases after this project is finished. (N64, Genesis, loose CD games, ect).
Let me know what you guys think!
