Help! Storing my vinyl is becoming a problem.

[blobbie]

Over the past couple years I've been slowly building a vinyl record collection. It's still pretty small, I'm much more excited about CDs, but I want to figure this out early before it's a real issue.
What do y'all find to be the best way to store your vinyl? Is a crate the most convenient? Should I look for a good shelf? I really have no idea, I want to keep them safe.

Do you have any room for a bookshelf somewhere?
My family has probably a hundred or so old vinyl records stored in a couple bookshelves at the base of the stairs in our house.
