Many people use a Pelican case (or equivalent cheaper brand) with pluck foam to house their mount head or OTA. You could also use a large plastic container from a hardware store lined with foam cut to size, which works quite well. I've seen some people with custom crates made from wood or aluminium also foam-lined.
I agree the suitable pre-made cases or bags (that I've seen) are very expensive.
Take a walk around your local hardware store/warehouse to see if you can find a container/case that's about the right dimensions - they're usually not that expensive.
