Typically the box used for most towers is going to be in the range of $100
or less. However I use only metal NEMA-4 enclosures on the tower. I'm just
more comfortable with the full shielding, BUT they are heavy and at least as
expensive as the fiberglass ones listed in the link below. In addition I've
not seen the steel ones available with the options of these.
