Watertight boxes

I'm looking for a cheap watertight box about 10" long by 3.5" wide by
2.5" tall. I can't seem to find anything via DigiKey or Mouser. Does
anyone have any suggestions? I don't care what material it is, cost
is the main factor. $30 or less would be great.

Thank you-

Hammond has several nice lines http://www.hammondmfg.com/

Search on "nema enclosure" and "ip enclosure" for others.

Long and Thin boxes are a bit thin on the ground.
A while ago I needed one to go in a lighting column & the only thing I found was a diecast one from
Rolec in their AluKOM range :

They also do some aimed at things like crane pendant controls which are in a long-thin format
(conTrol range)
