Pelican and Stormcase suppliers

I'm looking around to find some good prices on large Pelican or Stormcase cases, preferably the 16xx versions.

This is to house the Gemini mount head and accessories and also for FSQ-106.

Does anyone know of any best priced suppliers in Oz? Seems that the best price is sourced in the US, but getting it here is going to cost the same price of t he case itself.

I got a large Pelican case from these guys a while back at what I thought was a reasonable price by local standards: http://www.carryitcases.com.au/

I got the case for my G11 head from carryitcases too. They send me a reminder about once a year that I should consider getting new seals.
Mind you, a Pelican case with a G11 head in it isn't light. I don't put anything else in mine - not even the counterweight bar. Consider getting two cases.

Which case was it you got.

I got a 1620. It's the smallest Pelican that a G11 fits in. There is probably a suitable Storm Case and they are somewhat cheaper.
