5inch
Finally, pre-designed, silk-screened blank CDRs, DVDs and trigger cases as unique as the data put on them.
For you recording artists, use 5inch discs as demos of your most recent audio excursions. Designers, artists and photographers use our discs to showcase their portfolios.
Our discs are also ideal for your MP3s, video and multimedia presentations, photo albums, file transfers and data backup.
Each disc is printed in a limited run. (think of it as... "we did to blank discs what Swatch(R) did to watches"). Once the design is gone, it is gone. New designs are printed and posted on a regular basis. We also carry solid color and even "clear" CDRs, DVDRs trigger cases in a variety of styles and colors, disc hubs, various storage items and t-shirts.

Streets Of Sadness
Many of us are affected by the current financial situation, and for some of us, the first time we’ve had to think about making ends meet. The Streets Of Sadness effort attempts to shed light on those who’ve had it bad for a long time. The signs displayed here tell a heartbreaking story of each individual’s life, all encapsulated into a cheap little cardboard message.
Sadsight
An easy place to vent.
