Just aquired a box set of a CGI series that you may want to check out.
Roughnecks: Chronicles of The Starship Troopers was conceived as a
show aimed at the teenage market, but some stations thought the
material too mature. The last episodes went direct to video. Overall
the format was a series of multi-part story arkes they call campaigns,
similar to many British science fiction series. It has a lot of
cliches and formula, but they work for it not against it. The
characters are beleivable and even at times interresting. The CGI is
some of the best I've seen. Story expands on the Heinlien book more
faithfully then the movies. Ships and mech had elements of design
similar to Ridley Scott's Aliens. They were very well thought out and
possible, with the right technology. Just about everone will find
something to justify a rental, even if they don't want to add it to
their collections.

I am also adding links to a free database program for DVD collectors.
This program is easy to learn and based on community cooperation.
