Where to get DVD cases

Someone might have already posted something like this but I will say it again: The best place to get DVD covers is from the garbage.
"Say What!?" You ask?
Yes, garbage as in dumpster diving. I find a ton everytime I go to Hollywood Video, literally 50-100 every time. I don't know if Blockbuster or any other do it because I usually just keep in mind that I need a new DVD case and the next time I get a movie I just dive on my way out.
Anyway I just thought it might help someone. :)

Hmmm, interresting, are they the actual DVD cases from the movies, or their own brand of DVD cases?

While I wouldn't go on a fullon dumpster-dive, having a little root around the piles of old PCs lying outside our Uni ready to be trashed proved too much of a temptation to resist. I didn't find anything of real interest, other than some old-looking CRTs with BNC connectors that proved far too bulky to steal and carry home

If I need to get DVD cases, there are packs of 10 or so at Wal-Mart for not much

hell if i see a pile of pc parts laying on the side of the street, i check them out, if there is something useful i'll take it

you may find something very nice like i did about a year ago

fully working pII 300mhz with 96mb ram and a 6gig harddrive, had a 32x cdrom too

Haha! I did it like 30 minutes ago. LOL! Sure enough there were like at least 50 DVD cases. Also full complete PS2/Gamecube/X-Box game manuals as well.

The manager chick seen me though (I think she seen me) she's soooo cute too... I told my dad... "next time i'll try doing that at a time in the early mornings"

I always thought dumpster diving was illegal though?

Oh well I ended up with 4 regular DVD cases, plus about 8 Hollywood Video style DVD cases.

WTF is a 'hollywood Video style' one ?

Probably either the big VHS sized blue plastic DVD cases, or the thin blue plastic cases with the cheap one piece spindle clip molded into the back of the case.

If it's the stupid clip-open ones, then you're gonna have some stupid 'An insight into our sewers' case with your game in it
