We use the Venmill 3500 machine.  It's extremely easy to use, does a 
good job, and isn't terribly noisy.  It is, however, fairly 
pricey.  The list price is about $2200; we paid $1859 with a 
consortial discount from Baker & Taylor.  We estimate that we'll 
recover the cost of the machine within about three years, with not 
having to buy replacement DVDs and CDs.  See Venmill's web site at 
www.venmill.com for an online demo.

We also offer a cleaning service to the public (we use the machine, 
they don't!).  We charge $3/disc or two for $5.  It's not used a lot, 
but we've probably brought in $150 - $200 in the past two years.
