Home Depot or Lowes carry metal briefcases that work fine as Transmitter Cases. Harbor Freight carries them, as well. You can get Foam at a Foam and Fabric store.

Can't help you with an alternative cheaper case for your Tx other than an off the shelf item, but for storing odds and ends I use the large empty plastic ice cream or butter containers.

Our local Target store has shoebox sized plastic storage bins with lids that clamp in place. I use several of these for engines, radio gear, batteries, tools, etc. They stack nicely on the shelf, are clear enough to let you see what's in them, and I throw those Silica Gel dessicant packages in them for stuff that's prone to moisture damage (engines).

Where I work, we get stuff shipped to us with those bags of dessicant, so I just save 'em and take them home. Even in the storage bins without the stuff, I haven't had any trouble with storage, even in my sometimes damp basement.
