I'm with ya! I'd rather plunk down 40 bucks for a decent NEMA rated outdoor
box than save 30 bucks today only to have to pay 200 tomorrow. Short term
thinking leads to long term expense.

Tupperware is for leftovers, not electronics! I can build any

The Rubbermaid Roughneck series might work well. The Sterilite brand
are, in my opinion, junk to begin with. Even brand new, they can be
brittle and break easily. Check in the outdoors/garden/etc section for
them.
