It's not that big, the cases are much smaller than DVD cases. Each case is 12-13mm wide, so on a typical shelf, you could fit >60. You can easily make them two or three deep, depending on your shelf.

I just stick them in a box after ripping them to my HDDs.

Sure, but with a full-sized PC tower, you could reasonably fit thousands of Blu-rays. The physical size difference is pretty massive in that comparison.

Sure. I'm just saying storage doesn't need to be overly burdensome. I just toss mine in a box and stick it in a closet. And if the drives die, you have the disks.
