That looks good Scott! You used a router to cut those slots?
I'm going to be building something very similar although I'll have 8" spacing with one at 12" at the top. I'm building mine for my Atari collection mainly, which for the most part are 7.5" tall, although there are a few taller ones. The Sega games are like 8" (9 for 2600 & 4 for 5200) & boxed Boing!, Bounty Bob Strikes Back, & the Epyx titles will end up on the top shelf as well as any other possible games I haven't encountered yet? I have around 500 boxed Atari games now & climbing.
I'm planning on building a box at bottom
24" plus 1.5" on MDF so 25.5" tall
then 6 shelves @ 8" tall & very top shelf @ 12" tall, all with 3/4 MDF, 66" tall total,
combined height of 91.5"
Thinking of trying to squeeze one more 8" shelf out & make the base a little lower, but I'm not sure if I will be able or not. I'm planning on storing system boxes & larger accessories and the sort on bottom, and some of those are kind of big, so I'm still in thinking mode right now. I'm going to do a full wall like this, around 12' long. I'll be able store all games & dvds, cds, etc all together.
10" deep on shelves & 20-24" deep on the base. I want it deep enough so that I can store my boxes and have room to place figures and stuff in front of them. But depending on what I make the height of the base, I may need 24" deep if I'm turning my 5200 sys box on side. It's 23" tall so I either need 2' tall or 2' deep. I've also been buying
Music Mate cubes for storing loose carts, and I'm pondering over the placement of them now, if I might try and add them into the mix maybe one or two units that have these instead of shelves in the center or something, I'm not sure yet. Still alot of thinking going on at this point.
