So here is a question to those that are using a Powerlab 8 charger, 2x HP DPS-600PB server power supplies, and a MPA 6 position paraboard.
- What are you guys using for a carrying case to house your charging gear? I need to build, buy or modify something that will work for this purpose.

I used a small Pelican case and a shoe horn to get everything in. See below about midway down.

There are a lot of examples in the RC forums to look at, then DIY for fun.

IIRC, I used a Pelican Storm 2100 and there is now a Harbor Freight case a little larger and a more reasonable price. I didn't look closely at them, but HF has the Apache line.

Many of the guys on RC Groups are using a Ridgid tool case, available at Home Depot, with good results. I had a Pelican case laying around so that’s what I used.

Here's mine. Pelican case with 2, 12v - 72 Amp power supplies wired in series for 24 volt output. A bit heavy, but I often bring to the field for contests and hook up a charging station for participants.
