Any big electroins store has boxes, like best buy or circit city, even wall-mart sells boxes. They wont be a nice fit though. You would need to make one or have some make one for you if you want a custom fitted one.

box plans are asked for on an almost weekly basis. do a search, because i know i've put up plans numerous times, at least twice in the last month.... Rezn8r is also selling box building kits for cheap. like i said, this comes up a lot

I'd look into the kit mentioned above. I know sometimes they pop up on ebay but I do not know anything about the build quality. Jim makes great looking boxes and www.ryjocustoms.com has some options as well.

I would never buy a box. If you have a saw and truck to hall some MDF board, how should be able to make a box for $25-50.
That price will get you wood, carpet, scews, and glue (I use liquid nails). Once messurements are fiqured out the acual time it takes to cut and construct the box is like 2-3 hours. You may think it too hard, but all you need is some math are carpentry skills, or friends who do, and you'll have a box. You'll also have alot more satisfaction than paying for an overpriced box and even more shipping charges.
