Another early 2000s oddity here on LGR this week! One that I'd never heard of before it was sent to me in the mail some months back, and boy was I intrigued to try it out and poke around its mechanisms.

The KDS PC CD Organizer was first released in 2001 and holds 75 discs of any type! Mainly because it doesn't do any actual reading of the discs itself and instead relies on your PC for all the smarts and data-related stuff. Still, it's a fascinating solution to quickly storing and retrieving optical media! And the innards are just fun to look at, too.
