where to get 42 inch tool chest cheap?

looking for something like this:
http://www.bizrate.com/buy/noncat_pr...393056769.html

this bottom is 499, top is 299

sears has same thing,
bottom is ~750, top is more

another option, just as much as Sears, but waterloo brand:
http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/tool-...-cabinets.html

all made in same place, all look same.
i figure as long as it has ball bearing slides, it should work as well as the craftsman, correct?

i can't even find anyhere:

Waterloo is who makes the Craftsman boxes. I have a Craftsman bottom box and it has the waterloo stamp on it somewhere on there. Good boxes for the money. I'd say just search for the best deal on a Waterloo, and you won't be disappointed. Even their non-BB drawer slide models are good. Just put a little hi-temp grease in the slides when you put it together.
Dad has a Craftsman bottom box he bought before I was born (I'm almost 30) and it's still in great shape. Lots of weight in that box, and all the drawers have been opened thousands upon thousands of times.

that sounds good.

i found these guys - he drop ships from the factory for free, and seems to have best price.

i like the side box, to use top as a little work area.

I have a step below the Craftsman Professional series. It has full extension ball bearing drawers, and grip latch.

Paid about $900.00 for top and bottom. Last box I'll ever need to buy.

I don't have any personal experience w/ them, but the Remline boxes are supposed to be pretty nice.

I think that the same box in the first link can be had a Sams Club for the same $500 price. They are ball berring for the heavy tools also. May save ya some on shipping an handeling.
