Where did you get that KMC 1000 card storage box? I'd love to get one so I can carry my Powered and Common/Uncommon cube in one instead of dragging around 2 boxes with me.
I got it at my LGS, and they only had one left. I tried looking online to see if any sites carried them, no luck. Maybe try asking the owner or staff of your local shop to see if they can order one in from their supplier? It's a damn good box, keeps the cards snug so they don't move around, and probably the only one I've seen that holds sleeved cards properly (in terms of card count and snugness).
Kept my box to house my proxy cube after selling the cards from the pimped one in my sig. Cube Box Closed:
Cube Box Open:
Sliding divider to keep cards in main row from flopping over and adjust # of cards in cube
Center row to set up packs
5 basic land compartments labelled by mana symbol
Archenemy scheme cards and extra sleeves compartment
Dice and coin compartment

Here's my solution, the KMC 1000 count Card Barrier Box
Inside:
The top row of the box holds my 450 count cube, and it is separated by a plastic divider. The bottom row has two dividers, which holds my lands (20 of each type) on the right, my three commander decks in the middle, the rest of my lands, and finally, my life counter! (that silvery bit on the left). I've tried corrugated boxes before, but those always break down because I carry it around in a backpack. This plastic box is solid, sexy, and literally carries my entire collection sans traders in one neat package. At $20, I cannot recommend it enough.
The only complaint that I have with it is that I wish the dividers were removable so that I can create my own spaces, but that's a small niggle at what is perhaps my most favorite card storage solution.
Anyone know where I can buy this online? Link?
(I've looked around a little and couldn't find it.)
That is indeed a lovely box. I hope you've got good proxies to keep up appearances.
Since everything including the basics is going to be a proxy Im OK with everything being a different thickness as a real MTG card, but the same thickness all around. So I used a regular proxy generator website to print onto cardstock (full color but home printer quality) and am going to cut them out and sleeve them. Hope they look nice. The other boxes on this thread look nice too.
I wonder how hard it would be to get a custom case made? Has anyone looked into it?
My ideal case would be:
Holds 500 cards, sleeved.
Has moveable dividers
Locks
Small form factor to fit in said backpack
Light-weight and durable (can sustain the force of someone sitting on it)
Space for dice, counters, etc.
GPS tracker inside that I can track from a webpage/smart phone
It just seems that with all the products for Magic, sleeves, counters, etc., somebody would've made a sweet case, but there's really not much as far as I've seen, and not easily available.
My Cube has 720 cards and cca 200 lands. There isn't enough space on the sides, so I had to put some lands in the middle.
That box was present from my friend (unfortunately without wine), so I don't know the answer for question 2 and 3
But the size of this box is quite optimal. I just added 2 small parts to the middle.
That sounds perfect, I'll have to check ebay for wine boxes. NICE FIND!
Omg, I see some really nice stuff on Ebay. Not sure if I can link them though, really beautiful stuff.
Man Wtwlf123 I just literally right now found out what exactly a "cube" was (I just got back into magic after not playing for about 10 years) and I am super jealous of your cube box >.< I want one so bad now.
I asked in the Sleeves and Storage thread, but didn't really get a response there. This one seems more active.
I've seen a lot of praise for Rook's Endura Series steel storage containers. The Deluxe is supposed to hold upwards of 1,500 sleeved cards.
I have an EDH cube with 640 cards, around 200 basic lands, and another ~500 cards in the same sleeves for niche use in decks I build. I'd like something that can store all of these and is easily portable (the Endura has clasps and a handle).
Does anyone know where I could get a Rook Endura Deluxe? Rook appears not to exist anymore, and the internet seems to be out of stock on them.
Failing that, which I'm fairly certain is the case, does anyone have a good suggestion for an alternative?

Thanks man. And welcome back to Magic! No better reason to come back after a 10-year hiatus than cube drafting. In fact, it's THE reason to come back to Magic.
I hope you decide to build a cube and looking forward to hearing your experiences with the format. Welcome!
So when Jimmmy showed his wine box could hold his cube, I searched google for an NZ company that made boxes for packaging wine etc. I found one website that would manufacture boxes to my specifications. I know they aren't fancy, but I got these boxes for $4 and $6 NZD:

Fancy enough for me. Imagine the disappointed face of your host when you appear to be giving him a wine, when in fact you brought the most fun format ever!
Specialities about the cube: U tempo, B aggro, R slow-ish are supported. G aggro is not.
Currently trying to support tokens in all colors but blue, in different ways: W pumps them, B sacrifices them, R suicides them, G has decent-sized ones.

The smaller box is a 360 card cube with 30 of each basic land.
The bigger one is a 500 card cube with 30 of each basic land + a bunch of tokens you can see in different coloured sleeves.
I got them from the Wooden Box Company http://www.woodenbox.co.nz/products.htm but I'm pretty sure they only service New Zealand and Australia. If you're in the USA, search Google for "Custom wood boxes" or similar and I'm sure you can find a place that would make one to your specs. If you're interested the internal specs I asked for were:

3 Questions
-How many cards is that holding?
-Hows the wine?
-Where can I order :)?
