Would like to get a protective/waterproof case for my SLR equipment

I'm looking at purchasing a hard, water-tight case to hold some camera equipment while traveling. If anybody has any experience with stuff like this, your input would be appreciated. Here's what would be in it:

1 Rebel XT body
1 Canon 70-300 IS
1 Canon 17-85 IS
1 Canon 35mm f/2
1 Canon Speedlight flash

At a minimum, the case would have to hold that stuff; a little extra room for expansion 😉 wouldn't hurt, though. I'm not terribly worried about weight; this isn't something I'm going to be lugging everywhere. Just something to protect the gear while in the car or otherwise traveling, or to hold the camera when not in use around camp or similar situations. It tends to rain just a bit when I go camping 😛

Second the Pelican recommendation. They make some fantastic cases. We had them in my last (military) unit for potential deployments for our computer gear. Those things are practically indestructible.
 
Third the Pelican.

I have an 1150 for my Canon Elura 70 with charger, extra battery, extra tape. I use it to take the camcorder to snow ski races. Completely waterproof, adjustable foam for perfect fit, virtually indestructable. I have taken some bad crashes with the Pelican in my backpack and never a problem with the camera.
