Just got the Kallax on the right (black friday sale), had ~550 records crammed into the shelves on the left before.
The shelves on the left are these type http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O1APF0 I don't live near an IKEA and up until recently they did not offer affordable shipping, so these have worked great for me. pricier than the Kallax though, and really no better made.

I know it's slightly more expensive than the Kallax deal posted, but I use these similar cubes that come with a backing.
These work great and are inexpensive.
Another option for storage cubes

Just installed some of these for 12"s.
You could consider these. They're cheap and free to ship (and if you have Prime, it's free 2 day shipping). I have two of them (in Espresso, which looks pretty good) and they do a great job. The nooks are a good size so they can hold a fair amount of records.
If you do a good job of bracing the two units together, you should end up with a stable storage unit. The most appealing part, in my opinion, is that you can expand the shelving space as your collection grows. If you ever fill out one of the shelves, you can buy another matching unit and they'll still be cohesive.
I have two of the dual cube units and I'm very happy with them. I plan to add another so I can take my turntable off of the receiver. Having six cubes for storage and display should be plenty of space with room to grow.
It's something to consider, at least. At this price, they're tough to beat. I'm happy with mine and I think most people would enjoy them, as well.
Here's a shot of my turntable stand with two of the shelving units mentioned above. I think they look pretty nice, especially in person. The camera phone didn't do it much justice. Once I add the third one I can unstack the turntable and receiver and still keep the elevated side nook as a display for the current record playing and for headphone storage.

Edit: I just realized that you said that you want 4x4. That would become quite costly to do it this way and stability may become an issue, depending on how you arrange them.

I like the fact that they're modular so I can add more as my collection grows.
We have all our records in Foremost storage cubes. The prices vary; sometimes they're cheapest from Target, sometimes Amazon. They're great! We don't have any books in ours but of course you could put books in them.
I am an audiophile. I had binders and binders of CD's when napster had just begun. Then the digital revolution, Mini-Disk to Ipod, 56k song downloads to torrenting discographies.
But I was born too late for vinyl.
I find myself at a friends house for after work drinks and dinner. She has just started collecting vinyl. And when I say just started, she had maybe ten albums lined up on the wall. Kind of on display, but also just sitting on the floor. We threw on Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti, my pick of her acquired albums.
Now I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan, and Physical Graffiti is a rocking album, but it was like I was listening to the album for the first time. I have listened to the album countless times, but something was completely different. The warmth of the sound, the quality, the character. This was cool.
I was so intrigued that I couldn't shut up about it when I had returned home. My dad told me that although he didn't have a turntable, he still had quite a few of his records. I made him dig them out of our storage closet.
I spent the next couple of hours looking through some 75 records. Some christmas albums, and bill cosby comedy albums. Some like an original pressing of The Beatles - "The White Album" that my dad had drawn a self portrait on. I know this totally devalues the selve, but I love this album more for it. This album has a piece of my father, it's beautiful.(I'll post a photo when I get home). Luckily my father took care of his records, so they are all in great playing shape.
I was also gifted a few that where once my mother's. An original pressing of Michael Jackson - Thriller. It, like most of her albums, was not taken care of, so it doesn't really play. I have since purchased a copy of thriller(25th anniversary picture disc), but I can't throw out my mom's which doesn't play.
So after spending hours just sitting on the floor looking at these records, I bought a turntable. I usually research electronics purchases, this time not so much. I didn't foresee my vinyl addiction to be the monster it has truly become. I just wanted to rock the small the collection I had just inherited. I bought the Audio Technica AT-LP60. I lucked out with an awesome starter turntable.
Now I find myself drooling over furniture to store my collection. (Anybody have these?) Researching turntables to upgrade there. My collection just keeps growing. I received in the mail today Soulive w/ Karl Denson - Spark, Lettuce - Fly, and Burial - Untrue. I love my albums.
TL:DR; I love vinyl.
