Need Ballast Boxes!!!

Ok, first! I do "NOT" want to hear any BS about it's cheaper buying a ballast complete or any BS of that sorts. All I want to know. Is where I can find a Ballast Box housing. I would normally order them from BGHydro, but they are sold out because of moving sale. I've done the google search and search here and haven't come across any online. The only thing I've come across is whole units. I just need the vented housing box. I have all the parts for two 600HPS lights. Thanks ahead of time for any help.
Take care,
BG

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty much looking for the vented ballast boxes. These transformer boxes will work, but I prefer the normal vented boxes. They tend to work allot better by venting the heat out and have the nice carrying handle. Thanks for the post. Love the help.
Take care,
BG

Google " metal experimenters boxes", it opens a world of fabrication.

Radio Shack has boxes as well, check them out.

No BS, just what you asked for.

You are welcome GDW

PS:

The snazzy looking boxes similar to SunLeaves 2.0 are aluminum extrusions and may not be readily available due to in-house designs/special order. You may have to settle for fabricated units and finish them your selves. (venting, handles, plug(s) opening punch outs and the like.

It is all about R&D, "some assembly required, batteries not included", so to speak.

If you're willing to go a little "ghetto", you can get a junction box (aka pull box) from the electrical department of your hardware store.

I got a junction box big enough to house my 400w hps ballast, and it only cost me $13 at homede-pot. I just poked out the "knock-outs" to create some vents.

Hey Ty-Stik, thanks. Those boxes have nothing to do with Sunleaves. They are a general vent ballast box like this one. They use to be all over the place, but for some reason. You just can't find them around as much anymore.
Thanks,
BG

Thanks pontiac,

My ballast is pretty big and I'd rather have a vented larger unit. Thanks for the help.
Take care,
BG
