Hard travel case?

I am looking for a hard travel case for my camera and equipment, such as lenses, filters, flash, and so on. I have looked on ebay and other places even nikon and canon and all they have are soft case travel bags. I want it to be sturdy enough that It could stand against 200 pounds. Does anyone know of a place I can go to find cases like these for cameras and equipment?Hard travel case?
The two biggest brands are Pelican and Storm Case.





If you live near ';The Container Store'; they also sell hard-sided steel trunks. You'd have to get your own foam. And you'd need to check with your airline (if you go by air) as to what the maximum checked luggage size/weight is. It changes almost every day, it seems.





But from what I've seen, the best bargains at the Container Store are for their commerical plastic cases. To check it out, visit the Container Store at containerstore.com then click on collections%26gt;hobby%26gt;utility cases. You'd have to buy foam separately.





Here's a link to Storm Case:

You can also shop at botac.com for Storm Case and Pelican.





EDIT: For goodness sake, don't shop at Broadway Photo like someone suggested! They are a ripoff place.Hard travel case?
Look for a local camera/photography store. You can try someplace like Wolf Camera. That will be the best option for you. You'll get to see it, hold it and get to know it before buying. You can also try some online camera stores like Cameta Camera (http://secure.cameta.com/index.cfm), http://www.bhphotovideo.com/, Broadway photography, http://www.adorama.com/. I have purchased from Cameta and the people are helpful.
try to see in http://www.promotionaltravelbags.com if you can find the travel bag you are looking for.
