Another inexpensive and very available box is a rural mailbox.  They keep mail
pretty dry if the door is closed!   ;-)   I have built power supplies for 
prop-pitch
rotators in them for mounting on towers and they work quite well..  Just 
run everything
in through the bottom.  Any humidity drains out the gaps around the bottom.
