7 years from now you might have enough DVD's to fill a couple Blu-rays .
There are CD's/DVD's that are specifically designed for long term storage but as always for the media to be a problem.

You may want to consider backing up to internal hard drives as well .
20x35 = $700.

It works great - no sagging at all.
I belive the sheves were rated for 300 LBS.
I added wood to the sides and backs of each shelf, so that the lp's could not slip through .
I bought HEAVY DUTY metal shelving units at Lowes.
