dont laugh, but 'Rubbermaid' (I think its that anyway) might have what you
want. We bought a smallish version for our video-housing (from Greenaway
Marine - the one near Swindon) and they said the BBC etc use them for their
kit. I think they do a wheeled one.

Rubbermaid ... hmmm, brown paper bag Sir, infalate in the privacy of
your own home ?

Thanks I'll try a search for rubbermaid ... bet the net finds some
other interseting sites, not just boxes.

Not long after I started work at a well known aquarium as IT Manager, I
clamped down on internet access and sent out warnings to all staff after
finding that someone had been accessing www.rubbermaid.com - imagine my
shame when I checked it out (for research purposes only of course), and
found that they make bins, rubber mats etc!
