Not at the tower base, but I use a 42h x36w x18d office supplies 
cabinet, 2 doors for my entrance j-box.  I bought the welded up one. 3x 
3" + 3x 2" bottom and sides conduits in plus 2x 3" conduits into the 
shack out the back.  A couple of coats of latex house paint and all is 
well in Seattle rain after 8 years. Cheaper, easier to work inside, and 
much easier to punch than a Knaack.  Although some mice decided to live 
in the tower runs - bronze wool stuffing solved that :) .
