Diversdiscount.com has an assortment of pelican Cases. Other places to try are Ebay or your local camera /video store.
I have dealt with Diversdiscount and had good service in the past.
Many video owners (myself included) go for the largest that can be a carryon on airlines.. I believe it is the 1450.
You'll need to be sure your camera and housing fit it.
Another option that Jim Church espouses is a rigid cooler duct-taped shut, preferably with a lot of scuffing and some dead-fish smell.
He thinks it discourages snoopy baggage handlers.
Certainly hand-carried or unobtrusive is best. There's a significant investment in your rig, so the less attention it gathers the better.
Dive safe and share your memories.

you might look into Cases for Less - storm, pelican, and seal tight cases at a good price (i've got seal tite cases from them in the past)
BTW - the original thread was from 2000 
For those currently looking, also check out your local sporting goods store in the firearms section - I use Doskogil cases and have done for over ten years. I think the most expensive one was $50 and it easily fits everything I need in it.

Do you think maybe he found one by now?
Maybe he's as bad as I am sometimes...research something for months and months and never end up buying it! I'm much better now - a bit of research then jump in!
