Hard Drive Case

So I’m finally considering practicing what I preach and get some off site backups. I have 2-2.5 TB of data that either cant be replaced or would be a PITA to replace. Right now its all wholed up and duplicated on my WHS. A recent break-in at an apartment a few buildings away got me thinking that my server is an easy target for a thief to walk off with and the lost of the hardware would be nothing compared to the data loss. So I’m looking to get a drop-in style external dock to hook up to my server and a few extra drives to periodically backup to and to take and leave at the office.

Since I’m going to be dealing with bear drives (cheaper and easier to do maintenance\diagnostics) I am going to need a carrying case for them. I’m looking to get a hard shell case that has antistatic foam and preferably compartments already in it and large enough for 2-3 drives. I’ve done some googleing and found a few things that I think might work but wanted to see if anyone had any useful input to provide.

I did see some cases from Pelican but their smallest one was like $130 which is far more than I think I need\want to spend. Im not taking these drives out into the wild or anything extreme just from apartment, to car, to office.
 
A powered-down hard drive really isn't that delicate. You don't need much protection. I'd look for something like that linked by Eos above me, but check places like dealextreme or meritline for the cheap versions.
