urm... flight case type thingies....

Random ***** suggestion, if its just small stuff like routers cables and peripherals, get a padded sleeping bag or duvet, and swiss roll it up and secure it with some bungees.
 
Car boot sales are a good starting point, but if it's just for general storage/shipping for LANs then take a look at your local poundland type store or B&Q/Homebase.

Why not just get a couple of giant bins or buckets with lids?

My Peli case set me back close to £300 and it is not even the biggest one the do, although it makes a nice stool when you are waiting for someone. They are very durable and people will not be "throwing them out", not unless they are beyond repair and by that point, it would be useless to you.

Money well spent, but some of their big cases are impressive, especially the military range stuff.

Anyone who throws away a Peli case away is a moron. They have a lifetime warranty and honour just about any type of damage. Trust me, we destroyed a case, it was shattered. Got a nice new one in return. All you pay is postage to Peli products in the UK.

They are expensive but then you think how much is your equipment is worth and how important is your equipment to you to get to your destination in one piece.

Then the peli case becomes value for money, I can sit on it, stand on it, even throw it into the sea (it SHOULD float) and survives as it is water tight.

the things i was looking at were around 40 - 50 quid in a high street electrical store....

I use 3 of those for music bits & bobs and they cost about £10 each.

Wish more people would think like this. We use Peli cases to ship out kit out worldwide. One case has been round the world quite a few times. Still going strong :)

The only thing I haven't done is throw it into water. But it would sink with some of the stuff we put into some of them ;)

I used that same case and recently bought 2 of the Heavy Duty Plastic version (called "Large High Impact Case With Pre Cut Foam Interior") from the same retailer for £50 each and they're much better quality and both have lasted much longer than the metal case.
