i went to a pawn shop to get my tool boxes.  at first i just had a craftsman 
chest with a bunch of drawers; it sat on various counters etc over the 
years.  it was way too heavy for me to move.  then i went out (to a pawn 
shop again) and got a roller base.  i really like the roller bottom and the 
multi drawer top.  i ran out of space so i got a craftsman "middle section" 
not sure what they call it.  it's three more drawers and fits between the 
roller base and the tool chest on top.

the one thing i can definitely recommend is that you buy way more tool chest 
than you think you will need, and be sure it is all on rollers.  still wish 
i'd bought bigger <grin>

i think loews may have a set decently priced.

with a pawn shop you may get some extra tools!  i've bought chain saws, 
electric hand saws, etc at various places.  mostly been good.
