    I don't have a price on them but the cost of getting to and installed on 
your site (requires a crane) would be more than you're probably willing to 
pay.

    What do you want to use it for? How much space do you need? A friend of 
mine who's a ham and commercial site owner buys used shipping containers (I 
know you can get them in lots of places) and outfits them on his own with 
HVAC, wiring, etc. They're relatively cheap and they're 100% secure.
